Dancing Stones
by Pedro Bento
This is a photo I’ve been working on for a while. Most part of the year the ground of this beach is covered by stones, giving a confused foreground to the scene I want to shoot. So the possibilities of getting this shot without stones in the foreground, low tide, at sunset, nice sky and without footprints are pretty difficult…
Equipment: Canon 350D, 10-22 EFS

    A truly beautiful shot lovely foreground tonings and the windswept sky lends itself to great toning colours.

    SOOOOOOO nice

  3. Anurag Anurag Says:

    Your persistence has paid handsome dividends. Excellent shot!!
    Perfect silky smooth sand, very dynamic diagonal of the shore where water meets the sand, The center stone with all the lines of the clouds and the implied lines of the spikes of the rock converging towards it and the setting sun behind - is fantastic. The shape of the clouds plays of splendidly with the shape of the rocks.

    OPUS MAGNUM !!!

    Technically Excellent.

  5. TomBrooklyn Says:

    So how did the sand get there?

  6. Pedro Bento Says:

    Strong waves, especially in the winter, bring tons of sand to the shore.

  7. Caroline Says:

  17. Bir Azam Says:

    An amazing shot. The way the sky is reaching at the rocks and the way the rocks are reaching at you, looks beautiful, adventurous. The perfect use of shutter speed and exposure setting made this photo a perfect piece of work. Excellent.

    Totally unreal sky. I think its a luck to catch the sky look so geometrically proportional to the place you are standing at.
