A Few More General Shots...

[Shaun Haselden]

Taken some time apart, these are two of my favourite monochrome works. Both taken in the county of Yorkshire, one in 2008 and the other more recently. One taken using a Nikon D70, the other a Nikon D600.

As always, beautiful photos @Shaun Haselden! The first one strikes me the most: the contrast between the enduring stillness of the stone and the ever-changing fluidity of the clouds, with a tree bent by the wind in between, which seems to embody the characteristics of both – the stones and the clouds. The tree as a universal symbol, a link between earth and sky.

Excellent words.

Here's another one. The local seafront.

Some gorgeous shots there, Shaun. Again, I’m not too sure of the vignette in the last one, but it has a nice touch of mystery to it.

Shaun, what did you use taking this shot? I have piers and sunken walkways similar to this near me, and always find I fluff the composition and renders are never quite as I imagine them.

Regardless, mood is one of a lighthouse guide that never returned home.

Wes, equipment wise I used a Nikon D4S with a Nikon 20mm AF-D f2.8 wide angle.
