Evening all,
Some truly fantastic images here, and a real selection of coastlines on offer. As a self proclaimed novice when it comes to decent landcsape captures, I am in awe of these.
Standout images for me are from :
Tom - the colours in your pic of the New Brighton Lighthouse are wonderful - look at those greens on the rocks!
Stupar - your Seacliff image is beautifully minimal - great colours and striking composition.
Phil - The Tay Entering the North Sea - very different and imposing. Loving the industrial nature of that seascape. Your Red Sand image is very different too - there is something almost martian about it. The texture and shapes in this are fabulous.
Shrmoto - really like your Port Muck image. I love the Antrim coastline and keep meaning to get back out there. Your pic of Saltburn pier though is wonderful. Great choice of viewpoint and composition, and the contrasting colours really make this standout.
Great reflections and textures in your first shot, Martin.
Les - brilliant use of lead-in line in your Cob image; I am heading that way this summer so will probably give this landscape a visit myself. I also like the gritty quality of the shot.
Michael - liking your long exposure of Durdle Dor - good timing in capturing the near break of the wave. Am hoping to get to see this as well when I head out to Dorset in the summer.
Matthew - great sunset -really vivid colours and another great reflection
Steve - really liking the colours and tones in your Firth of Clyde picture; very moody
Martin - great shot from Whitby - one of my favourite places, and also loving your shot of Hunstanton. Great choice of angle; you have nailed the shapes of those rocks.
Alan - very picturesque shot of the bay - I like the simplicity of this and the lane heading up and out of the picture really gives it some depth.
Tomh1982 - some really cool long exposures here - your one of Southwold Pier wins it for me for the contrasts between the sea and the land - especially the pier.
Thanks for your pier shot too, Kim - like the mono conversion ; it adds to a very moody capture.
Mike - excellent moonlight capture. A simple but effective composition, and another other worldly kind of shot. Fascinated with how the moonlights subverts the colours and tones.
Gary - your colourful cove image stands out for me. Great capture of the sky and the reflections but it is the boat sailing out of the cove that really adds to this. I like the way it is highlighted by the remaining sunlight.
Nguss - great lighthouse shot - effective use of lead in lines and wonderful colours too.
Simon (great name!) - lots of lovely shots from the wonderful Welsh coastline. I think after Cornwall, this is my favourite place in the country. Lots to choose from but the Menai Bridge and your shot of Llanddwyn Island are the stand outs for me. That bridge shot has lots of fabulous detail in it and the way the bridge itself is juxtaposed against the natural landscape - especially the snow capped mountains, is brilliant.
Dan - your long exposure of South Shields stands out for me - like the simplicity of the shot.
Paul - Llanddwyn Island is clearly a great place to shoot. Your capture is fantastic - lots of drama and contrast - great long exposure and great composition.
Les - it is your Paddy's Hole pic that grabbed my attention. Very good viewpoint and choice of composition. Really like the saturated colours and the atmosphere in this - the relaxed nature of the foreground compared to the industrialised bg.
Your Isle of Skye picture is equally fantastic. Loving the drama of those waves crashing against the rocks. I really like the fact that you have kept this in colour too.
Colin - there is something very Scottish about both of your castle shots - like the ruggedness of the coastline in both of them.
Harry - thanks for your contribution - another fab reflection caught in the wet sand. Very well seen. Good lead in lines too - the texture in the wet sand leading up to the pool of water.
Scott - all 4 of yours are fabulous. Love the view of Durdle Dor - a really original and clever capture - was this a panoramic, or a stitch of many?
Really like your Porth Naven shot too; how did you find the drive down to this cove?
Liz - some really fab shots from you - I like the North Landing one best - the red boats add real interest and a striking contrast.
Harry - this is a great selection of boat images - great simplicity in your second image; I really like the 'portrait' framing to it. Effective dof in your third image too - makes for a very different view.
Keep them coming folks, looking to get the map up and running in about a week's time and would love to have a lot of ground covered by then.
Cheers
