Helter Skelter
I thought this small section of weirdly contorted sandstone on the Northumberland coast felt strange and other worldly. So I decided not to correct the blue colour cast borrowed from the blue sky overhead. This is revealed by the camera simply by setting a shady white balance. I also opted to include the small splash of reflected sunlight at the top of the frame. This provides both an accent colour and point of difference to show the colour is actually balanced.
Personally, I find this kind of thing fascinating. As Flickr friends will know, I do enjoy a bit of ambiguity and abstraction in my photography. Although I realise this isn’t the case for everyone, and this one will likely only appeal to a select few!
