Elgol

Basically the same image as Tuesdays but taken further along the boulder beach at Elgol.

I have returned to this single location more than any other in Scotland over the past 28 years, partly for sentimental childhood reasons but moreover for photographic ones. My father, who was heavily into photography, took many images here and I am no different. Due to the heavy tides at Elgol, there are a number of rock formations that only appear at certain times and timing the dawn rise to the tides and getting the right weather conditions is simply in the lap of the photographic gods and a bit of planning.

I have lost count of the number of images that I have of this very stand point both film and digital but my fav ones were taken with the x-pan camera but that format does not look good in Sutter at all. I have several versions of many different raw files processed in different ways. This version is probably the closest to the conditions at the time and was taken in April.

This image has some sentimental clap-trap attached to it but please, please do not hesitate to leave silly, ridiculous, funny comments! I enjoy them all.

All the best Mal
