welcome to Mordor. by graemestevens

welcome to Mordor.

I'm back. This was taken looking inland from a beach that is not mine - I briefly considered a hostile take over as the desolation and considerable emptiness suited me right to the bottom of my twisted and blackened soul however wine was calling and I felt it would be the height of rudeness to let that call go unheeded.
I thought that the drama of the location would allow for an Ansell Adams approach to the landscape, so I "went large".
Not too bad on black if you have the time and inclination.
Ooh - definitely Mordor-esque. Love all the textures.

Glad to see ya back. Make in roads, subtly but consistent and make "them" gift it to you. Dark and Ominous, just your type of spot.

@joysabin Thank you very much - it's exactly my kind of spot. I think I'll just take it by force ;)

I can hear the thunder and see the lightening from here. Not a hobbit in sight either.

@annied Thank you kindly - might have to use this shot in another image at some point...I keep liking it

This looks superb on black. You have given me an idea to try and capture something similar when we hit the beach. What time of day did you take this image?
April 9th, 2017  
@nicolecampbell Thank you very much - this was taken at about 2pm with Tropical Cyclone Debbie looming behind me

@graemestevens it is quite the image....I look forward to your post....I want to sound more intelligent but I have had copious amounts of wine

Good beach with perfect sky. You need to check out those skies and if they appear often enough, a takeover could be worth the risk!

@yrhenwr I don't want to over extend my reach before the empire is fully prepared but you may be right...
@annied It may not happen any time soon for much the same reason
April 9th, 2017
