The Last Rays

[John 2]

Up on the tops again last Wednesday chasing birds but as the sun went down, I managed these two.

P.S. The first one seems to have uploaded as a rather large image. I know not why and so both are best viewed in light box.

Fuji X plus 18-55mm lens

1. The Trough of Bowland


2. Morecambe Bay and Lune Estuary

Nice shots.

[Wavelength]

very nice

[madcrow]

Nicely done, I like them.

[John 2]

Thanks John, Nandakumar and Maurice.

These are both good, but I particularly like the lighting in #1. The coppery colour in the background hills matches the leaf litter in the left foreground.

I was reading your narrative and can only see a part of it for a while and what touched me were the green leaves of the pine like as if they were floating. The whole scene is perfectly composed. I particularly like this #1 scene. Both are beautiful...

[Ziggy]

Both very nice John.

[John 2]

Thanks John, thanks Izzie, thanks Jim.

Two lovely shots John IMO #2 would also look nice in a pano format with less sky

[John 2]

Thank you Binnur. I was tempted by a Pano and it would certainly work but I have tried to capture the "largeness" (for the want of a better word) of the scene. What I will do if the condition are right, is to make a multi exposure Pano of the whole coastline. Give n the weather at the moment, I may have to wait for that.

Two nice shots, John. #1 is my favourite.

[John 2]

Thanks Gary. My favourite too. The second is a shot I have tried several times and never quite captured how I saw it. Next time.
