Moody Coastal Bays.

I do like to try and produce more than one image from a frame and here are two alternate images from some of the Dorset trip images.

The first image is taken in Lulworth Cove and was taken from a High perspective on the cliffs on the right hand side of the Cove, was a bit of an interesting clamber to get up there as the ground under foot was muddy and not that stable, never the less up I went. I decide to process the image with a dark feel and removed the nice tones of the morning light that was captured in the original image, I think I prefer the image with a darker undertone.

The second image is a black an white conversion of one of the Kimmeridge Bay shots I have posted, I do not think it is the same frame but it was taken from roughly the same location, I feel the Black and White conversion add’s to the drama of the shot and enhances the water in the foreground but that is my own view and others may prefer the muted colour version in the Kimmeridge Bay Post.

Swanage…. What to Shoot In The Rain….

On the final leg of the short Dorset trip the final stop over before head home was Swanage. When I arrived there the weather was anything but co-operative, wind blow and rain still falling.

Driving into the town I headed straight for the water front to see what was on offer, slowly driving along the front toward the pier, I saw lots of opportunities for some great images however they will have to be for another day as there was not way I would be able to capture the shots I was after with the rain driving into the lens.

When I was near the pier I parked up the car and grabbed my tripod and bag and headed off for a wander hoping to find something to point the camera at with out driving rain covering the front element.

Well I was lucky I managed to get the following shots, one shot by being at a slight angle to the driving rain and the other by setting up the tripod beneath a roof overhang and behind a wall which sheltered me from the wind and the rain.

I processed the Jetty Shot a specific way, this is something that I visualised whilst I was taking the shot. Now granted it will not be to everyones taste, but that is the beauty of photography! we all see things in a different way.
