Some shots from Suffolk this evening

[tomh1982]

I decided to head out to Shingle street this evening as the rain finally decided to stop. Was a great sunset although I was quite annoyed with myself as I changed position from a nice composition then some great light appeared & I couldn't get back in time to catch it. More patience needed!

Anyway here is what i got.

Feedback welcome.

The fabtastic shape of the clouds and light make 3 the winner for me, even if the house is a bit small in the image.

Thanks for the comment Simon

Same here Tom, I love No. 3.
I like the foreground detail, and something about man-made stuff being dwarfed by nature (the big ominous cloud); so the house is the right size in my opinion.

Much appreciated David thanks

Three pleasing results Tom.

2 & 3 are quite atmospheric, for want of a better word.

BTW, I'm to the South of Ipswich, so not too far from you.

May I ask what these where shot with?

 

[tomh1982]

Thanks for the comment Dave. Good to have another local on here! Do you do much landscape photography?

Hi Phil. These were all shot on a pentax k5. Number 1&3 with a Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 & number 2 with a pentax 17-70mm f4 lens. I also used a lee 0.6 hard grad filter on these.

Cheers

Landscape photography?

Yes, I try to Tom, as living in Constable Country, I'm not short of photogenic locations.

Yes there are some great spots in your area. I'm planning to have a trip down to Dedham/flatford soon!

 

[DaveS2]

Definitely worth the trip Tom.

Summer evenings are best, when all the tourists have gone home, and the light is really good.

Here's a couple of examples:

Lovely shots Tom. Really like #3 although, as already said, it is a shame the building isn't bigger.

Thanks Rich

Good choice of filter. Not too dark on the sky and not too long to make the FG unduly bright.

The sky's got a good range of tones in one and I like the low perspective.

Two IMHO is the best balanced and most interesting. I like the wide view, I wouldn't crop it as it gives a remote feel.

I get what you've done with three, and I too wouldn't crop it, but the slope of the land doesn't suit. The flatness of the land in two works better
