View from Omey Island

************************************************

Omey Island (Irish: Iomaidh) is a tidal island situated near Claddaghduff in the western edge of Connemara, Ireland. It is the closest of the other small islets of the Irish coastal zone. There is a route across the sand to the island and, at high tide, the water is deep enough to cover a car. To help in the last moments before the water becomes too deep (or the mist rolls in and visibility drops to zero), there are conventional street signs to indicate the highest route.

Lovely, almost monochrome style, photo. Shutter just slow enough to give the water a magic feel.

Hi Piotr,

I like this. The blue and grey tones make it feel very cold. At the same time, you'd expect green tones in Ireland, but because of what we see we can still imagine this to be Ireland. Nice!

Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Piotr,

It's a beautiful shot . . Great detail of the rock, and you did great setting up the exposure with slow speed, that makes the water smoothly presented . .

Hello Piotr
I love all the lines in the rocks! We see so much.. the tiny tidal pool in the FG.. the as we look further we see the bit ray of the setting sun ... really a wonderful comp...

Spectacular scenery. I remember. I have been in Connemara a very long time ago.

Wow! This is so lovely, Piotr! Great perspective with perfect exposure. I like the mood. It's the best pic I've seen today here in TL. Good job!
Cheers!
Freddie :)

Hello Piotr. Stunning landscape shot here. I like the details and sharpness of the foreground rock capturing the wave in slow shutter putting it against the brilliant looking sky. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Piotr,
great camera and tripod handling here, really !
The result speaks for itself :-)

Well done.

Hi Piotr,

Good sharpness, composition and silky water because of the long exposure.
I would prefer an image like this with an overall red colour instead of blue.


TFS,

Hi Piotr,
Stunning shot, when I saw the thumbnail I thought it might be HDR. The exposure is spot on - congratulations
Jack

Hi Piotr,

That must have been very special going to this island!

Amazing atmosphere here. All in all excellent work.

Hi Piotr,
Amazing shot. The colors in the water and sky are very dark and beautiful. I love the fine details in the rocks and the water's smoke-like qualities.
Great post,

An expressive presentation of this interesting (and for me exotic) place. There are lots of little details in the water, on the rocks and in the background so that you can keep looking at the picture for quite some time.

Tibi

colours and details are wonderful.. and the entire composition is really effective!! thanks

i like this view piotr :)
peaceful and powerful at the same time
good use of slow shutter to make the water silky
excellent work

koh

This is one is very beautiful. Blue color is adding extra beauty.

Question: I saw your galary. You have other photographs similar to this one. How do you decide on the proportion of water/stone and sky in your photograph? Do you use tripod or you sit down on the floor and take this kind of shots?

-Mihir.

wonderful shot, very beautiful colors!
