One of the most bizarre rock formations in this area. Catching the sunset star in between pieces of rocks. Tide-dependent location.

Photography Tips

Better to photograph in that direction before sunrise. Be careful with the wind and the cliffs. Try to get there 30 minutes before sunrise. If the tide is strong, you might get a bit wet. As the waves are crushing the rocks under your feet.

Travel Information

From Lagos by car. The parking is 6-7 minutes away. It is easy to get to the destination. Steep stairs are going down.
Spot Type Outdoor
Crowd Factor A decent amount of people

Thank you Manuel! Its always good to capture a bunch of images on location. Together with some PS techniques you can really get a clean sunstar. ;)

Absolutely! Perfect work, can't see any transitions or something like that. The second thing I really like is the water and that you didn't decide to use an ND on that, because it looks so extremely realistic in this way... like you want to jump in it immediately! ;-)
