Good morning, Kristof!

Wonderful view of the Columnar Joints of Basaltic origin!
The seawater gives great contrast to these dark colored hexagonal strcutures, made by a volcanic eruption. The sky partially covered with clouds bring mood into the picture. The sharpness and POV are just ideal.
Very well seen!

Thanks for posting.

regards,
Paras Bhalla

Hi Kristof,
A very good vertical format for this capture.
An interesting POV with these fantastic upright rocks.
Good lighting and an ample DOF.
Very natural colors all over.
A good informative note as well.
Good job.

Hi Kristof

I remember this place, from one of the Led Zeppelin album covers, when I was in high school. "Houses of the Holy" perhaps? There's a similar spot at Fingal, on the north NSW coast, in Australia. Apparently, the hexagonal shapes are caused by rapid cooling, when basaltic lava hits the seawater. The same phenomenon can be seen in Hawaii today. Tfs!

A classic looking landscape scene in a vertical format. A higher f stop would probably yield more depth, but the f/4 setting chosen resulted in good details and sharpness. Fine rock texture, the distant clouds drape the scene well. Best regards...

Intéressante image qui montre un effet géologique parfaitement naturel et de tout beauté.
Les couleurs bien équilibré et la bonne netteté permet une bonne vision.
Bonne journée.

Hello Kristof,
I have seen this formation within the trek site before, but your angle with the foreground adds much to the scene as it allows a much clearer view to the immensity of the basaltic blocks that are now submerging under the sea. The shapes are great in the foreground, as Cobble Stones along the beach.
Good lighting and depth.
Have A Great Weekend...

Hello Kristof,
I love the minimalistic approach to this photo. The way the shapes of the rock return in the clouds and how the cool blue colors contrast with the warm stones is wonderful.
Best regards Siegfried

Hi Kristof,
Interesting scene! I enjoyed reading your note. I like your POV here, with the lead-in of the rocks. The horizon looks very straight, the wispy looking clouds are a nice feature too. The colours seem natural throughout. Simplistic but effective, nicely taken.

TFS,
Scott.

Bonjour Kristof
J'ai toujours rêvé lorsque j'étais au collège ,de voir La Chaussée des Géants, ces orgues basaltiques fréquentes en Auvergne mais qui ici plongent dans la mer.Je les imaginais plus étendues,couvrant une surface allongée interminable, mais bon ! peut-être est-ce tout de même ainsi.
J'aime bien ici le pov au ras du sol, qui détaille ces formes hexagonales ainsi que la composition en trois plans distincts
Bonne journée
Henri

Hello Kristof,

A fine capture of The Giant's Causeway where you have shown clear details of the individual stones and also their compounded effect.
Your choice of portrait format works really well giving great depth to the shot.

You were so lucky to have good weather.
It was drizzling when we visited this site!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Kristof

Fine shot of the causeway, I have been meaning to go there a few times but still never been there.
Good POV which shows the pattern of the rcoks close up but also the height of them in the distance.
TFS
