Landscape St. Michael's Mount at sunrise

St. Michael's Mount at sunrise · **9 Likes**

Saint Michael's Mount, in Cornwall (UK), is a beautiful and extremely photogenic island, and one that contrarily to its more famous French homonym gets completely isolated at high tide. While normally photographed with its iconic causeway from close, I also love to portray it from the distance, like here. 91 seconds of exposure at sunrise with my Hasselblad X1D, Hasselblad XCD 45mm and Formatt-Hitech Firecrest Ultra filters.

Thank you for viewing, best regards

Nice image, but... how it is related to Pentax?

It's not related to Pentax in any way other than my being a former Pentax user. However, there are no rules against posting photos here taking with non-Pentax cameras that I know of, I kept posting since leaving Pentax years ago, I post here often, sometimes I post old Pentax photos too, and I am a forum supporter as well - out of my love for the brand, despite my not using it anymore. So, I don't really see the point of your comment, but feel free to let me know if I am missing anything. Best regards,

Doesn’t really have to be a Pentax image here.

Great composition, Vieri. The distance gives St. Michaels an air of mystery!

Fine image... but IMHO Mont Saint-Michel has a far nicer profile, which maybe due to the higher spire.

That is ok then. I did not read all rules of this forum.

Love the tones! I had a great time visiting a university friend in Cornwall around 7 years ago, where we visited St. Michael's Mount and ate more than our fair share of Philps' Bakery Cornish Pasties.

Lovely picture. I live in the UK and I had no idea there was a St Michael's mount in Cornwall!

Well, while I might agree, being it difficult to photograph Le Mont St. Michel from Cornwall I had to settle for this...

Why thank you, that's generous of you to say it's ok. Perhaps reading the rules when being in a community, and especially before attacking people who have been living in the community for a long time, would save you some embarrassment next time

Thank you very much indeed, glad you enjoyed the colours here!

I love photography, but even if I didn't, I would go to Cornwall just for the pasties - so good!!

I hear you, I have been living in the centre of Italy for over 5 years now and I haven't explored by own backyard yet...

You'll just need to get a large handful of extenders for the HC300...

Or borrow the Hubble telescope for a few minutes!

I visited Mont Saint-Michel in France but I didn't know Britain had its own Mount St Michael's. Mont Saint-Michel gets isolated at high tide, if I'm right. The situation changed over the years and the tides are higher now. When I visited, the buses had acces during a limited time frame due to the tide. Nice image BTW.
