Southwold

Journal Entry: Thu May 29, 2008, 2:09 AM
I've begun uploading shots from a recent trip to Southwold with ~The-Almighty-Cheese, all of which I'm very proud of. I would say it was the most successful days shooting I've ever had.
The weather was very odd - mist and low cloud - and the sea was very rough, but this turned out to be perfect conditions for the kind of minimalist long exposures I'm a fan of but don't get the chance to shoot very often.
The only question now is whether to submit all my shots at once, or limit it to two or three a day to avoid flooding peoples inboxes. Thoughts?

And now, let me present a feature of some of the shots taken by ~The-Almighty-Cheese in Southwold. I have chosen the ones I think are best, but also ones that are composed in ways I would not have thought of myself. I hate to admit it, but I think he has a much better eye for a good composition that I do.











This one, in particular, makes me very envious. He seems to have hit on an almost perfect composition for this particular shot, so much so that I didn't even bother trying to get something similar and instead whipped out the infrared filter in a bit of shameless one-upmanship :D

The next shot shows me in a somewhat precarious position... I'll be uploading the shot I got sometime soon.

aw bless - cheers mate.

there's nothing to be jealous about - it is my job to know what a good photo should look like. Now I just need the right equipment and practise to be able to take one! I have to say that having the filters helped a lot - like you it means that I can do the really minimal shots. Personally, while I like Rusty I I prefer Misc I and Misc II, as well as Misty II...

no offense, but your one's are a bit dull and unvibrant in comparison - but obviously you can't do anything about that...

peter, as you know, i am following your uploads - all very good. i look forward to the rest - happy to have them trickle in ;) now you've alerted me to the big cheese's work, i shall have a look at his as well !!
:iconacwraith:
How vibrant can a black and white image be, exactly? =P
It was my choice to make them all black and white, so deal with it... :)
:iconacwraith:
Good good, I'm sure he'll appreciate that ;) Don't go calling him the big cheese though, we don't want to over-inflate his ego now, do we? =P
Many thanks for the support, I've been a fan of this kind of photography for a long time so I'm pleased my own attempts are appreciated :)
:iconacwraith:
I've been wanting to go for a long time... It's certainly full of photographic opportunities :)
