[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is the view looking south towards Punakaiki from the point where the Truman Track reaches the top of the sea cliffs.
I've posted a couple of shots before of this weathered sandstone bank. It changes so much in different light conditions that every photo I take of it captures a completely different mood.
I guess that can apply to anywhere though.
The coastline around here has so many different types of rock that no two coves are the same. One might be light coloured jagged rocks,and the next shiny smooth black ones. Most of the beaches around here have colourful pebbles with lots of rose quartz and sparkling mica,mixed with bright orange speckled limestone.
It is certainly a fascinating geological area to visit ... and photograph.

Hope you like the shot.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Steve

Hi Steve,
Very nice landscape you have captured here, excellent dof, good composition, all the best Rick :)

Hi Steve,
A wonderful photo with a bit of a mistical feel to it. The difference in clarity between the FG and BG is exactly divided by the first rock. The holes in the first rock and the way its toped with the long grass makes it a great subject. I like the overal color tone and the good amount of details. Do take care to get the horizon level with seascapes.
TFS,
Niek

Hi Steve, I like this view..
You've split the frame diagonally with the FG, and the long view down the coast makes it work nicely :)
Well done,
Howard
