Dawn on the Atlantic Ocean's infamous Cape

[Callie]

A bad, bad windy weekend in Cape Town rendered one morning with a lovely light, before a 40 km/h wind made me leave. The beach and sky from Kleinbaai, with Table Mountain wearing it cloak.
Shot this past weekend, two D850 images merged vertical to to get more into the canvass.

Nicely done. I believe infamous refers to its danger to ships (storms and rough tides). However, whenever I see the word infamous I can't help but think of this.

Thanks Fred - yes, it has wrecked many a ship over the centuries

I really like the shot. It could make a good wall hanger.

Wonderful and skillful capture, processing and presentation! It is nice when this info is shared. It helps others think of how to better do their own photography.

Thanks, Gavin - I love Bloubergstrand and the ever changing scenes it magics up.

Thanks, Joe. It is a shooting technique I have been using for quite some time. It allows me a WA view that is not really WA if I use longer focal lengths.

Callie, I love the way the clouds are moving over the mountains and the reflections in the water. Beautiful colors!

Thank you, Kenny - yes, clouds so often make the image for me!

Wonderful image, Callie. If I were there, I think I would pull up a lawn chair and stare at the clouds rolling bye all day.

Kirk, yeah, that would be nice but the wind will carry you away and leave everything covered in salt sand and spray!

Well then, I'll just fantacise about it instead.

Very nice mood, I love the colours in the clouds and the cloak on Tafelberg.
