Monday Moorings at Millom

I went out to take pictures of old boats at Millom in Cumbria today with a fellow photographer. I should say he is the photographer. Me, I'm just playing at it, at least today I felt like I was!

I love taking pictures at the coast and took lots of close ups of the weathered paint on boats, hulls, ropes and barnacles that I felt were better than this for vibrancy, at least in my opinion, but I wanted to blip this as it represents my day. It would have been a cop out to me to blip something safer today.

I find landscape pictures the most difficult because of the contrasts in exposure and tonal range between sky, land, water, distance and foreground and feel frustrated with this shot : /

I need to get some filters for the lens to capture the skies.

On the plus side it was another gorgeous day with blue skies and fluffy white clouds and I was out at the coast taking pictures rather than being stuck at my desk dealing with issues.

Taken with Nikon D7000 and uploaded via blip app.
