Whitby and the River Esk

Admirable rendu en monochrome.... Bonne journée.

Beautiful city view; nicely processed.

Good picture Herb.

Thanks a lot Jose.

Hi Herb as I said on 500px looks like a old photo from times gone by apart from the two cars perfect for Whitby.
All the best TOZ

Ps lots of detale in this Image Herb.

Good to see you having another look at this photo Toz. This has the added border and a signature too. Yes, a great temptation to erase the cars - I would have had to replace them with horse-drawn carriages and carts perhaps :) Whitby is just so perfectly preserved for such photos. A few more to come on here this yet.

Cheers, Herb

Good notes Herb. One is true and one is fiction, so I know which I prefer to read about, and seeing the Sutcliffe gallery, which I loved, I understand your presentation of this shot. I was going to say it looked like an old postcard. Cheers, Rosa.

Hi Rosa, you are right of course. I am still in the middle of reading that Bran Stokes original book but it is hard going -especially when in the Whitby settings. I just loved the Sutcliffe gallery and indeed have two of the books of his old photographs, of which, as you agree this is in a similar vein but I don't pretend to have his talents. More to come from here.

Keep safe, Herb

Hi Herb,

Your presentation is really very beautifu and meaningfull!
Thank you for the link of this website.

Stay safe!
Best wishes

Thank you so much dear Füsun. So glad that you enjoy the world through my eyes.

Keep safe. Herb

Very nice in these tones, Herb !

Thank you Ulrich

A beautiful capture Herb...............and your presentation is eerily similar to the way Sutcliffe presented his.............and I mean that as a compliment. The processing is perfect for the scene.

Thanks for the link to Sutcliffe's galleries too.................I have to admit I'd never heard of him until today. I've bookmarked the link to have a better look later on

I take that as a real compliment Keith. I have been to Whitby on a number of occasions and always took a lot of photos. Sutcliffe has been one of my photo idols so am very happy that I have passed his name onto you too.

Take care. Herb

Moin,
interessante Persönlichkeiten.
Klasse Foto.

Danke Weard.

Wonderful Whitby, lovely capture Herb.
Never seen it so quiet!

Hi Greg, it was still quite early when I took this -before the tourist had arrived :)
Gald you enjoyed it.

I love this nostalgic shot.....really works well, Herb!

Thanks a lot Diana. A full range of Whitby shots were to be posted this week but...........

This really looks great in sepia, Herb. I'm another who had not heard of Sutcliffe, but you've certainly achieved a great match to his style.

Thanks George. His photos are really inspirational, especially when you see them as I see them in my glossy quality books of his photos -each page being slightly bigger than A4. So glad you liked this.

Keep safe. Herb

Una toma preciosa que merecía el B&N como modo de expresión.

Nice to see you in these strange times of Covid and Ipernity collapse Marije. Great that you enjoyed the way I chose to portray this scene.

Keep Safe and All the Best for the Christmas Period.

Herb

Very nice sepija photo!

Nice to see you again Patar
Very happy that you have enjoyed this.

Keep Safe and All the Best for the Christmas Period. Herb

I'd like to take this opportunity to wish you a Merry Christmas and a better and safe New Year!

Thanks so much my friend. I shall place a Christmas card on here soon.

Keep Safe and All the Best for the Christmas Period. Herb

A terrific pov and a lovely old panorama of Whitby,

May I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, but above all stay careful and stay safe

Thanks a lot Roger. I had thought Ipernity was in hibernation until today, so happy to see you all here ticking over despite no new uploads.

Keep Safe and All the Best for the Christmas Period and the New Year. Herb

A nicely composed shot of this classic view of the harbour and swing bridge Herb. I like the treatment, suits the scene beautifully. I am a great fan of Frank Sutcliff's photography and have a couple of his on my 'office' wall.

Take care and have a great Christmas, Doug

Great that you too are familiar with Frank Sutcliffe's work Doug. I did wonder about buying a re-print of his but went for a couple of glossy books of his photos instead and what a treasure to browse now and again. When Ipernity allows, I have yet more shots of Whitby to upload. Hope you have managed to get out in this nasty weather for a shot or two.

Keep Safe and All the Best for the Christmas Period and New Year. Herb
