Best of the Rest - Photography Week 4 & 5 (2016)

These are a selection of the photographs taken during photography weeks 4 & 5 that haven't been included in other posts.

Cape Cornwall

Trying to get to Porth Nanven for the first time, I took the wrong turn in St Just and ended up at Cape Cornwall. It wasn't really an issue and I decided to stop and look around. I took a couple of record shots at Priest's Cove, climbed up to the Heinz Monument, and had a look at St Helen's Oratory.






Helford River

A walk along the coastal path from Durgan to the mouth of the Helford River proved to be more spring-like than the forecast suggested. I aimed to get one picture which that represented the conditions and the picturesque nature of the area:


The warming low sun picked out the rustic tones of some leafless trees:



Two shots of the same tree (first captured in week 48, November 2015). From the front it looks like an ordinary tree but from the side its shape matches the angle of the hill - possibly shaped by the wind:




A boat house on the river:



Two record shots at the mouth of the Helford River:





Godrevy

Seals viewed from the top of the cliffs at Mutton Cove near Godrevy Lighthouse using a 400mm telephoto lens:



Clipstone Forest (East Midlands)

Quarry metal fence in misty conditions, using a low depth of field and emphasizing the muted tones in post processing:



Later, with clearer light, two pine tree compositions:




Rock Abstracts

A week rarely goes by without an abstract rock composition or two. The first was taken at Maenporth and the second along the Helford River and then lastly a small selection from Chapel Porth:








Falmouth

Harbour mooring rings, rope, and a brightly painted café door:
