Whitby Abbey

Amazingly beautiful. The setting and composition are perfect to my eye. You should be very proud!

Hi Colin! I hope your computer will get soon better and that we can see your new photos. Regards, Henri

Colin, I'd like to share some bits of autumn with you: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=3811332 :) I Hope you like it :)

Ben, thanks, and please critique as you think - it would be surprising if there was not some area where we saw things diffeently.

 

This is one shot. I usually set the camera on 'Auto depth of field mode' when doing this sort of thing. It normally gives enough dof.

 

Thanks for the thought about the computer. It was a decision whether to repair my old W98 macine or get a new shiny pc. New shiny got the vote.

 

Wilson, thanks, I agree the foreground is important and I felt the dark sky went with the dark stomne of the abbey ruin.

 

Henri, yes, I see the similarity to the Abaye des Chateliers. (Must go back to Charente-Maritime one day!)

 

I now have a new computer.....

 

Paula, Ilse, Kathy, Vi - thanks!

 

 

 

Colin, great image. I think I would have been tempted to get feet slightly wet and shoot lower and closer to the foreground grass - just a thought.

I also wonder whether it would be possible to catch this on a sunrise so lighting one side with a golden glow?

I like this one a lot, too! I might have cropped it a tiny bit tighter at the top, bringing the horizon higher. But it's such a great sky, I can understand why one might not want to get rid of any of it! :-) What a wonderful impression of isolation here, Colin!

What an impressive, typical Colin's image of an abbey!

You're a real master, dear friend.
