Not had chance to shoot much recently with the weather being bad and other commitments. The only chance I had to shoot over xmas was a couple hours at Dawlish warren, unfortunately this was in the middle if the day during bright sunshine so I've opted for contrasty mono shots.

…a banquet for my eyes!
 
Only one thing to say about these images Neil, "Excellent".(y)

George.
 
Good set there Neil, even like the mono treatment which is unusual for me :)
You timed it right, the broken part of the groyne has disappeared completely now.
Was sorting through some shots the other day, comparing to before the 2014 storms and the beach level here has dropped by well over a meter :(
 
As I think I have said before on here I'm not a landscape photographer, I never seem to able to capture what I'm seeing. My way of judging landscape photos is to look at them and think "Would I buy a 20" x 30" print of that and put it on my wall and having seen these I would happily do that with 1, 2 & 4, they are outstanding and I think could well be sold as commercial images.

Thanks Steve, had a feeling it would be gone the day after when the storms hit.

Cheers Christopher , appreciate the kind comments
 
"Going down" or is that "up" love them all, seen that last one before but didnt make any comment on it, maybe I can entice the OH do help with a similar one :)
 
I'm only getting one image here (the one with the groyne) followed by several [/url].

Like the pic there is though but intrigued to what that others are. Love that part of the world.

I have read that if you refresh the page that helps to show the remaining photos or clearing you cache could help also.
 
Loving the first one, goes to show that even midday sun in winter is low enough for great landscape shots
 
Hi Neil hows it going...
My favourite is number 2 then 4. There's something about 2 that grabs me and drags my eye way out to the marker, like the texture in the groyne. In 4 like those wavy lines with the water streaming back.
The Babbacombe shot always sticks in my mind from last year! Think the original has it for me although I like this version too!
 
Great set. Excellent example of B&W. These shots are all so simplistic and probably the best way I can describe them is Clean and Crisp.

You make B&W look effortless, yet in my experience it's one of the hardest things to get right. Superb!

Favourite would be the disappearing steps, very enchanting image.
 
Neil, these are just fantastic.
Perfect bw conversions.

By no means since the rendition is not constant.
But in the sense of the artistic intent, very enjoyable as I said.

Perhaps not to you.
Not every "rendition" has to be the same.
