Durdle Door

[FFO]

I'm confused about image size, if this is wrong sorry.

Taken on Monday evening, one of those where the sun disappeared before the clouds changed colour, but I'm still pleased with the out come.

And on black

I would be rather please with that too. The colours are lovely and the definition on the archway is a very nice contrast to the soft water. There's maybe a tad too much middle ground, but that would be really nit picking and you'd have gotten wet getting lower.

My feet got soaking wet as it is, and bl**dy cold too.

Cheers for commenting.

It's hard to get a 'different' shot of a much-photographed place, but this is lovely. I like the softness of the water in contrast to the rocks, and the light from the setting sun adds warmth. Very well done, and well worth getting cold and wet for.

A gorgeous photo, well done

Love the way the sun lights up and provides a warmth to the rocks and sand.

Cheers

We've all seen millions of shots of this place, this is the first in a long time that's got my attention.

Light and timing I guess. Using those two well is the essence of good photography after all.

A great shot.
Not easy getting a shot of the door that we haven't seen 100 times before, but I think you may have managed it

Lots of movement and a lovely warm atmosphere. Great capture of some nice light.

Its OK. Nice. But then almost all the photos of the Durdle Door are nice. Some are technically wonderful - indeed this seems technically pretty good to me. But how often to they say anything new or different about the place itself?

I have seen lots of pictures of this location and this ranks with the best of them. For me you have nailed the shutter speed giving the sense of movment, great capture well done.

The use of light and shade is impressive as is the portrayal of the sea running back down the beach.
Durdle Door is one of those places that is immensely appealing, but has suffered from having thousands of pics taken with most of them being identical to each other. It needed a new approach to obtain a variation on the theme. You have succeeded in achieving that, Mark - well done.

Thanks all for your comments, much appreciated.

The shutter speed was a pain as I had to shoot it at f/22 so got some CA on the cliff tops, could really have done with a 2 or 3 stop ND filter.

Fantastic Image.

I really like this, great composition and light. The foreground rock makes it.

I am planning another jaunt down to the 'door for a sunrise shot.
