The landscape of the North York Moors...

[Shaun Haselden]

Images shot today, Tuesday 13th August 2024, showing a popular spot on the North York Moors. The day was completed by a call in at Goathland village with coffee and cake. Nikon D4S/Nikon 28-70mm f2.8 afs zoom at f2.8 ISO 100.

Seems just the other day that I looked up the definition of "moors" in the context of geography in the UK. Both images look peaceful although I think I like the 2nd of the two a bit more.

Gary, this place is a classic heather moorland covered with beehives and of course adders. A beautiful place in summer; not so nice mid winter. Thank you for your comment.

A retake on the same theme. Titled after the Genesis song in reference to the huge BMEW radar system on the moor.

I like the color version better. What is the "tor" in the middle of the horizon?

 

[Gianluca Drago]

The black and white version is good, but lacks what qualifies a moor as such, the unique colours.

At least you don't have to get it out by Friday!

I find the narrow depth of field on these (more prominent in the two color images) to be very interesting. They almost have that toy effect achievable with tilt lenses.

Gary, it is a huge U.S. radar installation.

I agree entirely.

Brian, thank you for your comment. I came about this almost by accident. I was trying to emulate the restricted DoF I used to get using medium/large format film by using my Nikon 28-70mm f2.8 at f2.8 when I came up with this 'look'. Slightly strange.

Yes it does. I hadn't even thought of that.

Another North York Moors feature, The Millennium Stone. Nothing ancient about it of course.
