Dune Fence 2

Dune Fence 2
Another dune fence from me here, again done at Formby on the Merseyside coast. I have tried to capture the timeless feeling that these scenes provoke as the sun goes down. Footprints and shadows make it for me.

I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

Best viewed full screen. See PiP for my other Dune Fence

Herb Riddle club has replied to Xata club
Yes, we see these scenes but to capture them and convey what we see and feel, ah that is sometimes difficult. Glad you took a peek of this on full screen black background too.

HFF, have a great weekend, Herb
5 years ago.
Xata club has replied to Herb Riddle club
I always try to pass a feeling through my pictures... and when I spot a picture that touches my sensibility I always take the time to enlarge it on black in my 27" iMac retina screen...and look at it for time it takes to let the feeling flow on me, it was the case with your take.

Rosalyn Hilborne club
You just have to take plenty of pictures of a scene like this. It draws a photographer's eye and makes a superb picture. Both good but I like the PiP best :-)) HFF and enjoy your weekend.
Cheers, Rosa.
5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
You are so right Rosa. As a matter of course, mainly because digital photos cost so little, I take as many photos as I have time for, or at least that I think are worthwhile to do. We used to go with our caravan just near these dunes for long weekends, many times with our grandchildren and so when I saw out of our windows that the lighting was right I ran out and over to the dunes (some 15-25 mins away in rough walking) and got snapping. The PiP is currently the most favoured photo by favs in my Ipernity collection! Glad you like them both.

5 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to FarbFormFreude club
Hi, I too have a preferece for this one, maybe because I had to put more work into it but I do like the spiders-web effect. I have a feeling that the footprints were mine, looking for the best p.o.v to take this photo. If you look carefully you can see steps from the corner.

Hi Steve, always good to see you and your comments here. You, no doubt rembember both these shots on good old Panoramio some years back now, so you are very right about not beating a good shot no matter how old. - I draw your attention to my comment to natureoncam -just above.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Keith Burton club
Keith, as always your comment is great. In reality, an old shot here that I felt deserved an outing. As I grow older and see these, I ask myself, can I carry on making good pictures like this one?
The Pip photo, that anybody can follow by simply clicking on the picture itself is available for full view and any new comments too. That picture has already proven itself, as it is my most popular picture here iIpernity.

Herb Riddle club has replied to tarboat club
Nice to see you here Tarboat. Yes, one of my entries into your 'Lancashire' group. I presume you are OK with a little bit of this kind of scenery there too. You might notice in my collection here that most of my pictures are of landscapes of one kind or another but do take quite a lot of other stuff too but very seldom post all that. If I come across more shots that will suit our Lancs group I shall post. I hope too, that you are OK with our Gr.Manchester contributions too but I shall try to refrain from Yorkshire stuff :)
