[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another one from the several hundred I took last Friday.
This was a 30 second exposure of the Arran ferry coming in, with the long exposure it has been recorded as coloured strips of light. The colours on the sea and sky are exactly as recorded, white balance set for overcast to give the cool blue, I just brought back the warmth in the sky in Nik Vivesa. The little island on the right is Ailsa Graig (see below)

The 'coat', 'hat' and 'tie' are the clouds or mist often seen at Ailsa Craig, a rocky little island which can be seen from any part of the Ayrshire coast. It stands eight miles from Girvan, rising sheer out of the sea. It is 1114 ft high, 3900 ft long and 2600 ft wide. Geologists tell us it is the plug of an extinct volcano, being active about 500 million years ago.

Today it is a bird sanctuary for the milions of sea birds who nest there. The lighthouse keepers left the island some years ago when the lighthouse was automated.

BELLA COMBINACION DE COLOR, EMITE PAZ Y RELAJACION, TE FELICITO DOUGLAS

Hi Douglas
This one has an extra treat - a slight bit of detail on the FG rock from the soft side light. Colors well captured and the ferry is an interesting effect.
