Three Images Of St.ives Today

[Julian de'Courcy]

Frivolous images I suspect, but the sun was strong the holiday makers were out. Three pictures of St.Ives in the Easter holidays.

Are we allowed frivolous on this site? Could a Mod make a judgement on that?

Good stuff, Julian. Love the first, especially.

Stop it - Stop it now! My fave place in the known universe and I haven't been for a few years!

Nice pix and familiar views

That first one is super Julian - I can smell the seaside!

The last one strikes me as a god b&W candidate for some reason - love the massive scale of the masonry vs the little people

Thanks Rob, I aught to have put what I wrote into some sort of context . I posted this after seeing and replying to Tom's post of the Execution site http://www.realphotographersforum.c...1916-easter-rising-leaders.17738/#post-135803 which I found to be a very moving image. Again Thanks

Nick the truth is I spent an hour their and left, just tooooo many people. But yes the turquois water the golden sand is always lifting and at this time of year a reminder of a summer yet to arrive. Sadly the Tate was closed and is until May so could not have a look in. Took myself to Newlyn which was more comfortable a place to meander about. Yet I do appreciate why it is a great holiday destination.

Thanks Chris appreciated. I agree and I did do a B+W copy of the lighthouse. Was not sure if it fitted in as a set.

Lovely seaside set Julian. Love the way they chose to set up in front of the manholes.
I was by the seaside yesterday too and we obviously shared a very uninteresting sky. Horrible harsh bright light but it was lovely later in the afternoon/ early evening. I was in Dungeness on the South Kent coast. I will post some from the outing soon.

Thank Tom. I know that light I have returned this morning with several images that hopefully can be salvaged but it is going to be very hard. Yesterday I could not stay until the evening , I tried but was not going to happen which was a shame. I'd like to visit Dungeness at some point, it looks like an interesting spot. Look forward to your images.

Very nice set of seaside pictures, brings back memories of my trips there.

That woman's face in the first is hilarious!

I liked them and I am very glad it wasn't done in Hungary Something like Martin Parr I think you have there Julian. Lovely images, especially the first one.

Thanks Hamish. As I arrived at them about 12 or so feet away they looked at me. being braver these days I switched the camera on as they slumped back , then hoped that they were not looking at me as I took the shot, then half expected the confrontation. Fortunately none came, I can just about make out they both have their eyes closed behind the sunglasses. .

Not much I can add except to say that these work due to their sense of place. The feeling of scale in the last is very effective.

Thanks Pete. Not overly exiting images, but nice to see the sun at last.
