Pasture Foot & Cronkley Scar

[Meerkat17]

Pasture Foot & Cronkley Scar viewed from Bleabeck Force - this is part of the Teesdale "Pennine Way" very sparce, not many trees or people but quiet and peaceful great place to "get your head together" ;)

Did someone knock down that part of the wall or was it never fully completed at that point?

Nice perspective. I like how the fence "fills in" where the wall is missing.

i love the way the broken wall forms a window into the scene, great composition idea.

Nice shot David :)

As the other guys have already said, the gap in the wall has been used in your shot to great effect.

I know exactly what you mean, the countryside has a detoxing effect on my brain and general being :)

I like it David. It has a slight colour cast to it that I removed, but to be honest the cast gives the photo a warm and welcoming look.

Likewise John, the caste was possibly caused my me, as I processed the image as "velvia" it's also slightly underexposed which I left too - well spotted ;)

These are Dry Stone Walls and have a habit of falling over many years due to the area being as exposed as it is too high winds.

Me too and especially this area, early morning is fantastic:)

Thanks for your comments

Composition is so very good here, David.
You know, if someone wanted to know what composition was all about they could do a lot worse than having a look at the shots you have posted on this forum.
Foreground and wall running from bottom right to upper left.
Wall openings on thirds.
Sky/hill horizon on third.
Best of all the "Golden Triangle" is evident here, as you can see below.

I meant to add I don't like the fence. :p

[Meerkat17]

Thanks Cameron,
The hardest part of this image was getting the hight of the camera correct, the angles are what attracted me the moment I saw the gap in the wall. The fence posts were an added extra giving some verticals to the foreground.

You do realise that you've just confused everyone who only works within the framework of "rule of thirds" with that "Golden Triangle" :lol: Next you will be drawing "hexagrams" on my images ;)

Thanks for your well thought out comments

Tough - I do :p

You can start worrying when I draw pentagrams. :evil:

Yes, but is that good or bad. :?
I still don't like that fencing. :p
Especially since B&Q charged me £20 to deliver 2 panels just 1/2 a mile. :evil:

[Elisabeth-Ann]

Cameron, I thought that was great the way you demonstrated what a perfect composition this is - very nicely done David! I like the fence too:p

[Meerkat17]

On that score I'm as confused as you are!:confused:

Typical Scotsman!:)

The fence stays!:evil:

Thanks Elisabeth-Ann, pleased someone else likes the fence!;)

Elisabeth, who said it was perfect. :?
The fence is a monstrosity.
Ooops, sorry David, a minor blemish IMO. :)

We're old friends, with old being the operative word. :lol:
So David won't mind.
Will you. :?

Not at all Cameron, each to their own. ;)

At least it was taken with a wide angle and not a macro lens!:p

Touche. :)

[Raindancer]

David, love the picture...... great composition, colours and sharpness.

Do you ever use a meter or just the camera?

Thanks

Rog

[sparker1]

My favorite is the one with lines drawn all about at crazy angles. That one is unique.:lol:

Now, whose thread is this?

[weemannie]

A lovely composition, David, and a lovely spot. :D
I'm glad you explained about the broken wall, I thought you'd rested the 'Bigma' on it!

Trevor, I told you not to say anything about that! It was only there for a moment whilst I changed lenses! ;) :p :lol:

Stan, I agree, Cameron is great with "crazy angles" :lol: ;)

Thanks for you comment, I only use the internal metering of the camera

First of all, I like your photo, even with the fence. What caught my eye was the title.
What does it mean? (Inquiring minds want to know)

[JMAS]

Fantastic shot and also great PP.

Your composition is always top knotch as Cameron pointed.

BTW, I don't mind the fence poles at all, in this photo. In fact I think they add to the photo as they seem to give continuance to the wall.

Pasture Foot is the name of the pasture you can see in the foreground of the image - Cronkley Scar is the name of the hill to the middle-right of the image.

Shhhhh, you'll start Cameron off again, on why it shouldn't be there! ;) :lol:

Thanks for the kind compliments.
