Ian Bramham's Photoblog
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
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog
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 website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.
@Richard Hollins: Thanks Richard!
@Anna.C: Thanks Anna! (PS - "septentrial" was a new word for me so I googled it and apparantly it means "of the north". It's not a word that I've ever heard used in the north of England so that's something new I learned today!)
@Anna.C: "up north" would be the coloquial expression more familiar to many of us notherners :-)
@Luca Bobbiesi: Thanks Luca!
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine!
@Momo: Thanks Momo....I thought keeping the figures small like that helped to give a better idea of how big and flat this part of the NW coast is.
