Morecambe Bay
Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 27 November 2008 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.
An archive photo from last winter that I was re-processing for possible submission to a photo competition.
These guys are professional cockle fishermen working out on the dangerous sands of Morecambe Bay at low tide.
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.
Margie from Auckland, New Zealand
Having heard stories of how dangerous this place is at low tide - this picture gives me the chills a bit.
It's a great shot, magnetic in it's composition, drawing me in.

@Margie: Thanks Margie....it's certainly not a place to go for a walk unles you're with someone who's really knows the bay.
One from Açores, Portugal
Magnificent ! An exceptional lighting and a sense of infinite space.

@One: Thanks for that!
@thierry: Thanks Thierry!
@Marie: Thanks Marie....photographic composition is always a lot easier on the coast like this as there is so little visual clutter which makes it very easy to keep things looking clean and simple.
Frida from Sweden
Great composition. It feels like I'm drawn in to the picture. The light is also very good. Very well captured!

@Anna.C: Thanks Anna!
Rui from Leiria, Portugal
Fantastic... Superb light. A great impact photo. The sense of space is so huge that Earth and sky seem just one. The option for BW couldn't be better, accentuating even more the impact and dramatism.
Brilliant Ian

Fantastic sense of depth. Is that a rainbow (right of centre) in the background?

The composition and wide angle give this a rather surreal feel. Nice!
