Blood Red Black

Embleton Bay, Northumbria, England.

The black schist stones beaten smooth by the incessant tidal action of the sea at Embleton Bay. I had anticipated the red light of sunrise streaming in across the rocks painting the edges a firey red, imagine my disappointment when I looked out to sea and saw a tiny tomato pip sun rapidly disappearing into a heavy grey sky. I shrugged it off and took the shot more as a recognition of the celestial joke played upon me, but the results wildly exceeded my expectations.

I finally got round to scanning this on the Nikon 9000ED and its certainly a massive improvement on my old flat bed. Enjoy.

Hello Geo From memory this was scanned with the Nikon 9000ED although I have also scanned it with an old Epson 3200 flat bed.

It's amazing how that tiny spot of red really lights up against all that purple. Super shot.

Nothing beats skill like dumb luck. In you case you had both going at the same time ;-)
