Down At The Harbour

[Julian de'Courcy]

Looking for things to photograph I went back to do what I often do which is to return to somewhere familiar. The Harbour.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Oh how I understand that. Well done Julian...love the first. It's a classic done well.

 

[Brian Moore]

I really like that first one also, Julian. But I like the final one very much also. The golden colors of the fit the terrain so well.

Thanks Glenn, yes it is a classic shot that many photographers over take. I liked this punt in particular.

Thanks Brian, yes the colours turned out pretty much as were. Not sure the alloy used , a modern composite I think, as it is quite light, I do wonder although in this instant used on a mooring rope, it may have been
designed for a yacht. But whatever, it is holding up better than the iron chains it is attached to..

Fine imagery, Julian. Never tire of viewing your harbour and beach shots. I also love the tones in the last one. Beautiful. You have a different light in that part of the world.

Thanks Rob very kind. The light is different throughout Cornwall, whether near the coast or on it, the light from the sea definitely influences where you stand. One of the greatest moments of light
I experienced was on the Northumberland coast. 'Newton by the sea' Not a million miles from yourself. A long while ago, may have been a one off yet I doubt that.

I agree, the light there is lovely. My daughter is applying to Northumbria University (among other places) so, you never know, I might get to know the place a little better.

Nice rob wish her all the best. My youngest and last to leave the nest is at Loughborough since September, back on the 20th for a few days over the holidays., Wow I've missed her. So being close is good idea, but then part of it, is learning
their independence. Which has brought it home, that I am once again learning my own viability, once again.

Love the punt, and the heart shaped chain in #2

 

[Dan Cattermole]

First one definitely floats my boat........
Coffee? Anyone?

 

[Dave Green]

Thanks Dave. St.Ives is a good place for this and I have many from there. I usually go when there is a new exhibition at the Tate. A good excuse.

Gorgeous set Julian. Just look at the lustrous sheen on those chains!

Thanks Pete. The second time with the DP3,

I guessed it might be. There is an amazing depth to the shot with the sand - even in the JPEG.

Thank you Pete, I am inspired even more now. Hope it lasts a while yet.
