Mounts Bay, Penzance

A colourful early Spring evening. This image was taken from the slipway looking over towards St.Michaels Mount at Marazion in Cornwall. When the tide is low you can walk over to the mount via a causeway. This image was taken at full tide.
Lee 0.6 ND and Lee 0.6 graduated ND filters used for this image.
Sorry about the unlevel horizon, I didn't notice this until after I had uploaded the image.

Please View On Black to see the approaching rain clouds more easily.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Top Photography Group ~ Invitational. P1/C2, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

    There's so much action in the clouds and sea and such a palette of colours too.

    Wow Tony, this is it! There are so many different colors in the sky all captured perfectly, water is top notch, contrast and focus on the close and far rocks is great too. Too bad about the horizon....beyond that I would call this perfection!

    You had some great weather down there... it's all white and gloomy over here.... wonderful light... and I really love the wave action captured here. Brilliant!

    Faved, wonderful shot, so much to look at. I love the waves at the bottom left.

    You can always replace the photo with a non-wonky version, but it's not that noticeable!

    Oh thats awesome! Makes me wish I were catching tonights sunset, with the possible rain clouds here! I love this image and I always love what running water and rocks do when the exposure is longer then average! An awesome image, once again!

    Really original shot Tony. Contrast between sunny foreground and stormy over Mousehole is fantastic.

    Looking forward to finding similar opportunities over the next couple of weeks whilst in Sennen.

    Beautiful capture.

    Lovely feel to the water ebbing and flowing here Tony. As the one wave subsides the next is just breaking on its way in. Combined with the low golden side lighting it makes for a beautiful shot.
    The Lee`s are doing their magic as usual I see. Very Nice........

    lovely light in the sky lighting the white clouds with the storm coming up behind.

    Probably one of the best I've seen of St.Michaels Mount and I've seen a lot.. Very dramatic light.
