About the Image(s)

Algarve Shoreline

During a recent trip to Portugal, I visited Algarve; a beach community on the Atlantic. I liked the way the cliffs blend into the beach; there is active erosion of those cliffs.

Technical
iphone 14 pro. Exposed using RAW MAX (a 48MP image) to capture as much detail as possible. I'm not convinced it adds much vs. the usual 12MP image and the resultant files are 10-fold larger. Straighten/crop/remove distractions in LR.

I like the contrast of the cliffs to the sky!   Posted: 11/03/2024 01:24:38

The light is so welcoming here Steven I just have to ask if it really looked like that, or what your processing was. Beach light can be so harsh, except for the golden hour. It's a well composed image, with just enough of each element. It's really well done!   Posted: 11/03/2024 02:31:46

Thanks Jack - in this case - what I saw is exactly what the iPhone captures. The bright brown/golden colors were amazing.   Posted: 11/13/2024 11:24:57

Steven, light, subject, sharpness, along with the composition are spot on. Makes me wish I was there.   Posted: 11/16/2024 17:36:32

Hi Steven,
Beautiful shot of the Algarve shoreline! The use of RAW file of your phone does make the difference. All the details of the cliffs and the sand are clearly seen. I did set up the RAW file for my phone in the past then I gave up because the large file size cannot be sent out via message or email. I am glad that it's beneficial here. Very well done!   Posted: 11/29/2024 20:28:21
