Ruby Sunrise

I somehow couldn't resist posting a Ruby image on a Tuesday

Just a little before the sun came up at Ruby Beach. This was a morning with high tide and a higher one than usual that eliminated the possibility of fording Cedar Creek to access the favored photo spots on the far shore. No clouds to speak of but the morning mist added some color to the available light.

That is some beautiful pastel light Alan & love the mist

 

[Ben Egbert]

Very soft and soothing.

Hey Alan,

I think the high tide did you a favor and forced you to stay here as this is a great angle. The water and pastel coloring is great.

 

[Gaz]

Love the pastels and the overall soothing feel I get from this, Alan. Very Nice!!

 

[Doug P]

enjoying the peaceful tones and the long exposure of the wave action. Well done.

 

[Jameel Hyder]

Love the lighting here Alan. Ruby beach offers so much in terms of composition. The light on the other hand doesn't always place nice.

 

[Kyle Jones]

Nice one Alan. I like the depth in this. The colors don't hurt either.

 

[Douglas Sherman]

This beautiful just as it is, Alan.

 

[Dave Dillemuth]

Marvelous, Alan. Very beautiful and the soft light gives this one a wonderful dreamy feel. Fine as presented but if it were mine I think I would increase the canvas size a touch and clone in a small bit along the top to give those pines a bit more breathing room. If you're so inclined, should be quite easy with Content Aware Fill.

Thanks for the feedback.

I shot this during a rare occasion of clear weather during an early February visit a while back and while it may look serene and calm that's mostly because this was a 271 second exposure. The Pacific never really gets calm and serene at high tide along this particular coastline in mid winter. I was using a Singh-Ray Vari-ND filter.

The long exposure brings out the subtle colors... Good job.

Nice work, Alan
The long exposure enhances the dreamy and colourful
feel to this composition.
