Sunsets

Just a couple of photos I took of sunset scenes, one taken on Blackpool Seafront the other taken from Hurst Cross.

Blackpool Seafront

Taken at the same time as the illumination photos, this photo was taken just after the sun had set behind the sea. At the time of taking the photo I was just trying to get the photo right and I didn't notic the two silhouettes on the beach until I was able to look at the photo. Looking back at the photo again, I think they add something to the photo that nothing else would have done.

Hurst Cross

This was a photo I took on impulse from a back garden, the things that make this photo so interesting are the contrasrts it shows. Again, the silhouette of the trees really helps to distinguish the colouring of the sky and the clouds. This photo has the additional contrast of the flash really helping to seperate the trees from everything else in the shot. In essence, this could be classed a photo in three parts.

That's all the photos I have to upload for now, hope you like them.

Thanks for looking.

Blackpool Illuminations

While looking for some photos to upload I came across some photos I took on a trip to Blackpool, these were taken with my DSRL after I had been using it for a couple of months or so. Not really a lot to say about these photos as they're all pretty much as I wanted them to be.
Hope you like them.

Hartshead Pike Photos

For my first post, I'm going to upload some photos I took when I first got my DSLR Camera. These photos were taken while I was still learning how to use the camera properly so they aren't exactly my best work. The two photos I'm uploading are the two best photos that I got from the day and the ones that I'm the happiest with.

Photo of Countryside near Hartshead Pike overlooking Mossley and Oldham.

This photo was taken using an 18-55mm lens and was one of the first photos I ever took. I'm actually really happy with how this one turned out. I think the way the snow highlights the tops of the hills makes this a really effective photo and really helps to capture how cold and icy it was up in the hills.

Hartshead Pike

This photo of Hartshead Pike was taken with the same 18-55mm lens as the first photo. While I'm quite happy with how this photo turned out I would have liked to get a little closer so I could have missed the top of the farm house out of the bottom off the photo. Unfortunately it was too dangerous to go any closer because of the ice, so I had to take the photo from the nearby road.

That's all of the photos I have to upload at the moment, hopefully I'll have some more photos to upload soon.

Thanks for reading/looking,
Danny.
