Mont Saint-Michelby ~TobiasRichter

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Waterscapes

For some minutes the cloudy sky above Mont-Saint Michel opens up and gives way to a few rays of sunshine that cast their warm light upon the watt around the Abbey before it disappears in the rain again. The world famous monastery built in the 10th century is one of the most beautiful examples for French and Norman architecture and was designated as a World Heritage Site in 1979.

Spring 2012
Normandy, France

After spending 3 weeks shooting in northern france I released the results on my website. I'll upload them here on DA during the next days.

I love this image, the colours are really strong and they stand out. You have used a great composition with the island/building and the sun. They both compliment each other and draw your eyes between the two. Having ISO 50 and probably underexposing the image has allowed the right amount of light to be received through the sensor.
One thing maybe to work on/ improve is the beach; the big line from the bottom right hand corner slightly draws the eyes to the opposite end of the subject/horizon, it also makes it a little busy when you have a stunning shot. This could be more simple and more effective.
Overall absolutely stunning. And I'm jealous of the fact you have the 5D Mark II

Hi,

Very nice composition. I like the fact that you put the sun in the middle with the Mt. St-Michel on the side. The clouds and the sand are also giving a lot of depth to the shot.

This is a good example of not using the rule of thirds (the horizon is in the middle of the shot) ... but using it at the same time (since the Mt. St-Michel in on the "right" line of the rules of thirds).

Using an exposure of f16 also gave a nice "sparkle" look to the sun (I thought it was f22).

Regards,

What do you think?

Wenn man lange darüber nachdenkt, merkt man, dass es nichtmal Mont Saint-Michel ist, der das Bild zu etwas besonderem macht.
Im Grunde hätte ein kleiner Fels im Hintergrund (an irgendeiner Küste) dasselbe bewirken können.
Die Schönheit ist überall zu finden.
