Southport Beach in Summer

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 10 July 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

No it's not the Gobi desert....this is what Southport Beach in NW England looks like in the summer when the tide is out. (the tide hardly ever comes in for that matter :-)

The dots that you can see are all the local people and tourists enjoying the weekend summer sunshine which has been a rare event over the last few years.

All I've done with this in post processing is to convert it to mono with that blueish tone you can see and I applied a heavy vignette to the sky.

I've decided to enter the 'Cool Photoblogs' annual competition again this year. I'd really appreciate a vote from any of you who like my blog and who feel up to going through the registration process that is required in order to be able to vote: 2009 Photoblog Awards

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.
