World Photography Day

I recognise that lighthouse and I like the way what light is available is falling on the wet sand above and below the ridges, the walker adds some nice foreground interest and the bulk of Steep Holm Island helps the background!

Thank you very much Roger. Not the best of days weather wise sadly but at least there was a little bit of decent light and clear enough for the view of Steep Holm. I am pleased you posted a closer shot of the lighthouse - it is a little gem.

A wonderful one! I like the combination of the colours very much!

Thank you very much. A shame about the weather really but early evening brought a little light to add to the colour palette fortunately.

Best wishes Carol

A good choice of picture for World Photography Day, Carol. I love seeing such an expanse as this and I like the two figures on the shoreline emphasising the scale of the sea. Beautifully empty.

Thank you very much John. That is just how I like my beaches too - empty!!!

Best wishes Carol

A lovely long perspective, and atmospheric light, Carol.

Thank you very much Diana. It started to rain as we left home so we were just happy that it stopped and we had a little bit of light to play with!!

Best wishes Carol

A beautiful capture! I love the colors and the composition.

Thank you very much Valerie The light was the saving grace really on an otherwise overcast and flat day. But it was good to get out and get a photo.

A fine offering for WPD Carol. You have caught the atmosphere of the scene well using this lighting. I too have walked along the sands around here but a good few years back now. Well done.

Best Wishes. Herb

Thank you very much Herb Really appreciated

Superbes photo , vue et couleurs pour la journée mondiale de la photographie . Bon mercredi .

Thank you very much Nicole. We were lucky to get a little good light as the day had been overcast and dull!

Best wishes Carol

Wonderful compo. I like everything about it :-)

Thank you very much Edna. Hope you are doing well.

Best wishes Carol

Layers and solitude, this would suit me, but still 2 months to wait !
Love the funny PIP too.

Thank you Isabel. Yes I like the solitude. Busy beaches hold no appeal for me.
Two months until the tourist season finishes?

Best wishes Carol

Une très belle perspective riche en couleurs, une grande sérénité se dégage de ta belle image Carol, merci d'avoir partagé ces instants magiques !
Bonne soirée mon amie.

Thank you very much Jocelyne. For me this is the best time to visit - early evening with hardly anyone on the beach, - calmer and more relaxed

Enjoy your day. Best wishes Carol

A wonderful choice of picture for World Photography Day! Such a great scene!!

Your photo really shows the vastness of this seascape, and the small silhouette of the person makes it even more evident. Well done, Carol.

Thank you very much Christa. I like beaches near the end of the day when they have less people on them as you get a better sense of the 'wide open' space.

Best wishes Carol

wonderful!

Thank you very much Markus

Magnifique mon amie Carole ******************bisous et bon jeudi !

Thank you very much dear Angelique. Kisses

Best wishes Carol

A fantastic moody photo and the few people help to show the dimensions of the beach.

Thank you very much Gudrun. We were fortunate to get even a little evening light as it was quite an overcast day with a bit of rain, but at least it meant the beach was pretty empty!!

Hi Carol
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Very nice composition, and a great recognition of World Photography day!
Great colours too, and the one little black figure works so well.
Best Wishes, (very late) HWPD, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!
Peter

Thank you very much Peter. Unlike your beautiful sunny day it was overcast here but at least the beach was almost empty!!

Best wishes. Hope you have a good weekend.

Carol

Beautiful setting and tones, Carol.

Thank you very much Gillian.

Best wishes Carol

Wunderschön ist dieser Blick raus auf das Meer liebe Carol,dein Bild strahlt auch eine sehr schöne Ruhe aus :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you very much Guni. I like the beach in the evening time when there are not too many people about.

Best wishes Carol

Diese Ruhe genieße ich auch immer gerne liebe Carol,deswegen bin ich auch immer früh morgens unterwegs :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Tag,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Very beautiful. Such great color variation and detail in both the sand and the sky. The colors are wonderful, and nicely thought out to include the person.

I love reading how people really think about our event for the day. (Can we sense each other working on it? *smile*) Thank you for the details about how this went for you. How nice you had someone to come along with you. Photography is often such a solitary thing to do (unless one is in a studio).

And did you see? Someone else in the group was there on that beach!! Perhaps you crossed paths with or without knowing it. I noticed because of the 'lighthouse' in both your photos. That seemed unique to me and double checked, and yup, the same location. Roger (Grisly) was there - www.ipernity.com/doc/grisleyreg/53052638/in/group/2596198 His was done in black and white. It's great to see the two perspectives together here in our event group.

Is it a long drive to this location? Does it often inspire you?

Thank you very much and I am so sorry for the late response. For me photography is rarely a solitary thing as we are almost never apart. Of course we have our own take on things, and maybe different things will catch our eye or fire our imagination but essentially we go together and often our photos are quite similar. Yet it is nice to be able to see what we have taken - and what we may have missed!

It makes it nicer in some ways and more difficult in others, for instance when we come to post photos they can be too similar, and it does make me more self critical!

Yes Roger is my husband and he has loved photography forever. My photography journey started much later and was more of an 'if you can't beat them, join them' type of thing. It was a case of join in or spend hours waiting for him and holding his camera bag!!. I am pleased I did as it makes you look at things differently.

Burnham is quite close to us, - and yes the lighthouse is quite distinctive!! For me the sea holds endless fascination.

Best wishes Carol

First, no need for apologies. ipernity lives in its own world and time is not often available for comments.

Roger is your husband! That makes so much sense - I hadn't known. I'm happy to know that you are happy with having taken up photography.

And yes, the sea is powerful and totally fascinating over and over again!

peace.

Amazing light and colours. Well composed indeed. Love how the figures give such scale to the scene. A superb entry to World Photography Day, Carol.
Best wishes.

Thank you very much Roger. I have put in a request for some sunshine for the next World Photography Day!!!!!

Best wishes Carol
