Some Dramatic Light in the Pineta Valley

[SFTPhotography]

Mega morning this was. Really nice strong light and thick heavy cloud made these views wonderful to shoot. The rock textures and big mountains make this place a feast for the eyes - chuck in some light and nice sky and you have landscape photography heaven. (It was too windy for reflections)

The third, with that interesting cloud, and the folds in the rock on the lhs, for me; have you tried shaving just a little off the bottom?

Now that you mention it that crop makes sense. It was a great morning out for sure

third one definitely, and I like the current crop with the parallel lines of trees leading you into the image

Number 3, pretty epic that one.

Thanks all - 3 is actually my least favourite of the shots. My favourite is probably 2 then 1.

#3 for me to. I do like the first as well though - the waterfalls scattered around let the eye wander nicely.

Yep - that's my thought and my big draw to shooting here. It's a wonderful vista that just hits you in the face when you see it. Far far more impressive and more atmospheric than anything in the UK.

Look at the way the rocks fold and "bend". Thats millions of years of sediment being crushed, folder etc as France and Spain collide.
