Critique Welcomed Mudlarking

[Peter Roberts]

At low tide the foreshore of the the Thames at Greenwich usually attracts "mudlarks". The hardcore adherents are tooled up with waders, knee-pads, metal detectors, trowels and a license from the Port of London Authority. I suspect though that this chap is just an opportunist.



Encumbered with a camera as I usually am, all I seem to find is mildly photogenic flotsam.



Both: Minolta XD7 / Minolta 35-70mm f3.5 / Yellow filter / Kentmere 400 / Rodinal

Looks like he has lost his head over finding some gold…

The second is a little disturbing, as if some weird creature had crawled out of the river, lying face-down with arms outstretched.

Both shots show nice tonality. Must get me some Kentmere.

I do worry sometimes at the places your imagination takes you, Rob

I'm also worried that I can see all of that myself now

Perhaps there should be a new prefix option: Analysis Welcome

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oops, sorry Peter. There is actually that option, or something like it, when you create a post. Maybe Hamish could create a Rob-Free Zone? I fear that might be very popular!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, there are three options: Critique Required, Critique Welcomed, Just For Show...

 

[Beth Carter]

that second one is definitely some monstrosity caterwauling and reaching out to ensure your demise. probably from a doctor who or dr. phil episode, not sure which.

I was thinking more in terms of Psychoanalysis

Ok, ok. So the scary anthropomorphous creature is the winner!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

See? I’m not the only crazy one around here!

was the lack sanity of this place ever really in question? when i first started everyone was paranoid about seagulls spying on them. that's how i knew this was the place for me.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You mean they've stopped? Phew! Now I can relax!

 

[Peter Roberts]

Now I can relax!

Oh, I dunno
Not even in the privacy of the privy.....

 

[Beth Carter]
