A mix of colour & monochrome shots from Dorset. C&C welcome
Hi Bill,
Of the first set, I quite like the Man O' War Bay shot, a very peaceful and considered shot, but the first shot isn't an attention grabber for me and looks more of a record shot IMHO, as are the other two, again IMHO.
An old geezer at the club I used to be in, used to refer to shots like those as 5' 10" shots, you know the kind of shots taken whilst walking along and enjoying the place and taking pictures just by bringing the camera up to the eye and shooting to capture a record of the place, rather than spending time to work the scene and to get something emotionally attached to the place - in other words, you were enjoying your walk more than you were able to concentrate on working the scene, which isn't a bad thing.
The second set are much superior, all of them. Here you have really got into what you are doing and worked the scene for all you can and it shows.
So to summarise, set 1 to me feels like a very pleasant walk on the coast and grabbing a few shots, set 2 looks like you were in a frame of mind to do some serious photography, which you have done successfully and it shows and I really like them
Dave
