Critique Welcomed Living on the Edge

[Chris Dodkin]

Most cliff-top views here on the West Coast, are naturally facing West.

However, this cliff is inland, above the city of Encinitas, and is on the edge of a canyon facing East.

Early morning - Cantebria Gardena Trail, looking North-East over Encinitas CA

I'll go back to this spot for sunrise and sunset, as I think the view out East has great potential.

 

[Kev Pugh]

I think you could be right there Chris, looks like a spot on location.....

 

[Brian Moore]

Delightfully colorful, Chris. More Velvia?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Great to see all your shots, Chris. I feel I know the area quite well now.

 

[Beth Carter]

beautiful color and light!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks everyone - not sure I'll make it for sunrise in the morning, but it's on the to-do list!

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Love the colours Chris cannot wait to see the sunrise version.

 

[Ralph Thornton]

Chris,
This spot looks to have some real potential for some great landscape shots. Early morning would certainly be good. Send me a plane ticket and I'll join you for sunrise some morning.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Check's in the mail Ralph!

As I suspected, I did not make it for sunrise this morning - must have been the margaritas fault!

 

[Dave Green]

WOW!

Just - WOW!!!

 

[Pete Askew]

Margarita? I knew a woman would be involved!

Stunning colours and wonderfully crisp details. I love those sulphurous yellows.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Early start this morning (4:30am) - returned to the same location and took some shots of dawn, looking East.

Just me and a coyote up at daybreak - lovely peaceful start to the weekend

Also too the MF Fuji, so we'll see if daybreak worked in B&W 50 ASA Ilford!

 

[Beth Carter]

wonderful chris, love the x-pro 1 shot, can't wait to see the older brother's version.

 

[Ahmad Bhai]

Really like the pinky sky. Ive been going to Stratford Olympic Park once in a while in the morning 6am hoping for a pinky morning.

 

[Paul Lange]

Great Chris! It seems that rather than Margarita keeping you in bed late you awoke at the crack of Dawn instead. Wow what a wild life you lead Misty.

 

[Pete Askew]

Now that was worth getting up for. What a sky!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Thanks everyone - weather forecast was promising, and the sky the night before had been good, so it was worth the gamble.

In contrast, today dawned with a marine layer and no sun, so I chose the right day!

Ahmad - are you able to get access, or can you only shoot from outside the park (i.e. from the road running through it)?

Paul - you have no idea!
