Pigeon Rocks #1
One of the great places to watch the sunset in Lebanon is on the Beirut corniche in front of the Pigeon Rocks (also known as the Rocks of Raouché). These two rocks come out of the water standing right in front of the corniche, making for a great landmark. They are very popular for boat trips with both locals and tourists.
When I initially saw the rocks during the day I thought it would make for a great sunset photo, so come 6:30pm I was there with my tripod. However, when I setup I noticed that there was no way to climb down low enough to get the rocks to intersect the horizon (which is always a good idea when taking this sort of landscape photo as it makes for a more interesting visual element). I took the shot anyway, with the clear goal to fix this in post-processing, pulling down the horizon. I’m quite happy with the end result, but have a look at the original and let me know what you think.
