Description This also from my summer series, long gone!
But hey I believe I am getting the chance of shooting a few the forthcoming days I hope everything goes ok and I'll find myself in nature again .
The shot was taken in Kammena Vourla (as most of this summer series) I walked over to the beach with my bag and my tripod in hope I would get the chance to shoot a few pictures, I knew I could because the sky was not dull (as opposed to the previous days) a few clouds had made their appearance since afternoon and I was eager to shoot a few slow shutter speeds shots.
For this shot I used a Cokin P121, the sun was just setting on my left (thats the reason of the intense light source on my left) and I framed to add the dramatic last rays of the light touching the sea and the rocks in front of me.

Nikon D50 | Nikkor 18-55mm | Apperture: f/11 | Shutter: 6 secs | Focal Length: 18mm | Filters: Cokin P121 + Hoya Circ Polarizer | Location: Kammena Vourla / Greece | Date / time: 15th June 2008 / 8:40pm

Having chosen to include the shore I think the slow exposure was a good choice for this shot because it attracts more interest to the rocks poking out of the water. You've brought out the colours of the debris nicely.

In my opinion you possibly could have cropped out the bottom half altogether and concentrated the frame on the hazy lands across the water and the sky above. I love the subtleness of tones - they're very relaxing.

This is kind of what I referred to in one of my other comments. Other than he veiw the only think slightly remarkable about this shot is the shutter speed. Unfortauntely not much else really works in my opinion. In particular I dont really like the colours on display. I think, had you found a stong foreground focal point, this shot could have really worked however, but as it stand the foreground is a little messy. I dont like grass on my beaches!
