Evening falls at Rossbeigh

Evening falls at Rossbeigh
At the end of a marvelous day doing the Ring-of-Kerry tour, we are greeted by scenes like this near our cottage at Rossbeigh. The left side demonstrates the contrast levels between the bright sunset reflections and the en-shadowed hills and foreshore.

A lovely coastal scene and great light, though as you note there is a huge contrast range.

Thanks George for taking a ganda at this one. In truth, I have more interesting shots of this evening but they would compete with even better ones taken as the week progressed and I intend to post on here too. This does have a certain feeling of tranquility and peace about it though, don't you think.
Cheers, Herb

The silvery light is very beautiful and for all its brightness you have still caught the detail on the darker side. The photo looks even better on black.

Hi again my friend and apologies for late reply. Too many photos on here I suspect! One of those scenes that many people would not try to take. Glad it worked for you. ~ Herb

Wow! This must have given your sensor a good work out..!!

A beautiful, but subdued colour palette, gorgeous light and lovely tones. Viewed large, there is an amazing amount of fine detail in the shadows, especially where the sun is glistening on the rocks in the foreground. I love the hint of pink in the sky and the shimmering silver sea. Masterfully done Herb!

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thanks for this Keith. Yes -a camera sensor workout perhaps. always good that you read my mindset as I took this. We can never be sure if it worked out until we see it big and read the feedback from our friends.

I must say that I'm in full immersion in the peaceful atmosphere of this coastal scenery where the splendid light , while touching softly the lovely tones in the background, even reaches and brightens the details on the darker foreground !
Have a great new week Herb !
