Once of many taken yesterday during a visit to a town I lived in for many a good year.
Still getting to grips with mono conversions. This one edited in ACR.

Great composition, Neil. I'm not a great exponent of B&W so can't comment further.

You got the tide in its right level! Well done!
No luck for me the last time I visited this place.

Lunchtimish......not the normal time I go out and shoot but my car was in for repair so had a couple of hours to spare!

Thanks all for your comments.

No. 1 has it all for me, excellent.

Great captures Neil, Love the first.
Am I right in saying the second is the same place as the first but at low tide ?.
Can you share the times taken on both please as I have wanted to travel here for some time, but want to make sure I get my timing correct for low tide which I think might be around 7.30am
Thanks.

Great shots Neil

I'm voting for no 2. I like the movement of the water in the centre of the frame. I'm only viewing on a tablet but being picky it seems that in no 1 the depth of field is a bit short. The upright post in the distance appears a little blurry. They're both great shots though and we'll seen.

Thank you Neil, That's a real help, don't have to get up as early as I thought.

I think you need to be picky with your tablet!! Nowt wrong with the DOF!

The tide was too low and going out when I visited. It pays to do a little bit of research!

 

[SFTPhotography]

Nowt wrong with one, great lead in and processing

Nothing wrong with the tablet !! Now I've viewed it on Flickr you're absolutely right.

You've some terrific shots in your portfolio on there

Love number two, at a quick look it could be a tall mountain pass or similar which makes you look closer and draws you into the image.

 

[alfbranch]

I really like No1
I love No2 for the perspective and detail.

 

[Delta Skies]

Both great images. Loving them.

No it didn't, it made the cover.
It was taken by @justinminns

Good stuff Neil, the mono conversion is excellent on the first one, good range of tones and contrast

 

[Neil Burnell]

2 seriously good images, great work.

 

[Islander]

Those are both lovely images, hard to choose between them but I do like the second one slightly more.

For people asking about tide times, remember they change daily! Use this site to get up to date information for anywhere in the UK.

Loves these very atmospheric

and tide height is the important part

Thanks Justin - I'll be honest - I thought the processing lacked contrast (struggle with mono's) but i'll take your word for it!!
