____________________________________________________________________________

I live on the beautiful Isle of Portland and work in the town of Weymouth 6 miles away.

Tonight I decided to depart the bus at Ferrybridge on the main route home and walk the 2 miles across Chesil Beach to the island.

The Sea Pink has just started to bloom so I grabbed a couple of pictures, then walked on to Portland. When I reached Chesil cove on the island, the sun was just setting and the sky was really watery.

There were a couple of boats on the shingle but this one was in the best position with the best colour. I was not sure of the exposure for this shot so I shot a range of exposures at f8 and hoped to merge them in Photomatix.

I didn't have a tripod so I had to lay my camera on the pebbles to ensure no movement. I am vey pleased with the results, thank you for stopping to have a look at my picture and read these notes, Peter

Espectacular, el contraste de la nitidez de la barca, con el cielo atormentado es genial, lástima que el mar casi no se distinga

Classic. The detail in the rocks is superb, and the angle on the boat is spectacular, and of course the sunset...a beautiful scene.
