Critique Welcomed Desolate

[Shaun Haselden]

This is a shot taken at the mouth of the River Humber around 2005 using a Hasselblad 500CM with an 80mm lens. Film was Fuji Acros 100 developed in Paterson FX39 which was rated at 100 ISO. The camera was fitted with a yellow/green filter to just bring out a little texture in the greys. This place is also known as Tetney Marsh and is an SSSI. It is a very lonely place on overcast days.​

Nice shot, Shaun. I'm glad you kept all that sky in, as it does add to the desolation.

Just my sort of scenery. I really love this Shaun

Many thanks for your comments. I always try to keep the sky in the shot for the reason stated, it adds considerably to the isolation and emptiness. I use a yellow/green filter to add some tone and depth to the sky and I love Acros 100 for it's midtones.
