Thanks, Joel.
Thanks, Joel.
The castle silhouette is weirdly dramatic from all angles. Hard to choose between B+W and colour.
I'm (very) slowly tackling my scanning backlog. I tend to concentrate on longer-lens shots, and my standard walkabout lens on 6x6 is a 150 mm. We were at Dunstanburgh on a target-rich day, with bright sun and a gale force wind blowing huge breakers onto Embleton beach. A hundred yard strip along the coastline was bathed in an uncanny crystal-clear light as the spume scattered the sun, and from up on the castle mound there was actually a bright line along the shore, as if someone had marked the air with a giant highlighter pen. Gorgeous.
My biggest regret, apart from not having a larger format, was not taking a longer lens. The black-green-white patterns on the dolerite cliffs are something I need to go back to. That and the odd little hoodoos poking their heads out of the gorse on the scarp opposite the castle.
There's a blog essay and gallery in there somewhere, but I need to let things sink in a bit more first.
