Test of time
I so should not have been where is was sitting to get this photograph of Lands End, UK. Within seconds of this shot being taken I was covered in spray and the grass became quite slippery around me. I did sit there for quite some time marveling at the power of the ocean, it was hypnotic.
Canon 5D, 24-70mm at 70mm, f/9, 1/640 sec, ISO 250. No filters used and hand held. A small amount of dust and scratches removed in photoshop. A contrast map and hue deference in photoshop.
This shot is also available from a photobook collection called Coastal Mementos by redtree.me

Beautiful shot David, love the colour contrasts and the brooding sky.
Sometimes you just gotta be where you “should not be” to get the right shot.
We all do it and hopefully we always get away with it. I have had a couple of scary moments myself.
