ABOUT THIS IMAGE

Lalush’s Beast

I saw an image of this rock a Flickr contact had beautifully made and vowed to find and photograph it. I emailed him asking for the location with no response. I even used Google Earth trying to locate this rock. It was more difficult because the photographer had used a 15mm lens down low and very close making the rock look huge. After a 4 month search I finally saw the rock for the first time. It was right in front of my nose at a location I frequent many times. It took 3 times of going back before the conditions were somewhat close to capturing an image. The tide was too low, kids were climbing all over it, there weren’t any clouds or the sand was trampled. Finally I was able to click a few frames, but the sky was blown out. It was a very contrasty scene. So I salvaged another image of a beautiful long exposed sky I had taken months earlier a mile north of this location and merged the two.
