May The Forth Be With You

[Rob MacKillop]

Just one of the three-bracket shots from Saturday's trip to the beach at Portobello, Edinburgh.
Fuji XE1, 18-55, Nik Colour​

A nice effect again Rob. I like the way the light has softened the rocks.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The lichen looks like very far away sheep...

 

[Mark Albertsen]

Like the idea this was shot on the XE

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Mark Albertsen - Thanks, Marc. Do you have an XE1?

There was more detail in the shadows, but I went for a mid-exposure, as I like the dark foreboding bits.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, I suppose I should mention the river is called the Forth - hence the title...

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Gorgeous image, love the contrasts and the forms of the foreground. Just hope the sheep don't fall off the edge, cos sheep don't usually swim.

I do indeed with the kit 18 55, i also have the x100 both purchased as a street camera. Love the x100 but it doesnt deliver for my style of street shooter but awsome looks as i have the all black model. The XE-1 is more versatile and am looking at using some of my old Voightlander lenses when i get the adapter.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Julian. No sheep were harmed in the making of this shot...

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Very nice Rob. Love that foreboding feel the softness brings.
And by the way...never thought twice about the title...today is the fourth after all.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ah, never noticed it was!

 

[Paul Lange]

I like this very much Rob. The seemingly relaxed warmth of the background contrasting with the hard coldness of the rocks in the foreground. Well, that's what I thought when I saw it.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, Paul. Whatever you read into it is fine by me!
