Sandswept Fence

A brilliant shot.. Herb'... the wide angle really pulls one in and shows the scene....

Thanks Nick.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

It was well worth the effort Herb! The low angle and the swirling sand looks stunning, as does the fence. HFF and I wish you a good weekend.....Rosa.

Thanks Rosa, when I saw this I thought the chances I took of sand getting into my equipment was worth the effort but if in the future my camera or lens goes wrong and somebody says something about grains of sand I shall know better. Glad you liked it.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Definitely worth a bit of sand on the lens;-) Wide angle and low PoV are perfect for this photo! HFF, Herb!

Aye Gudrun. I did try to be careful -only puling out the camera with lens fitted at the last moment. Good that you like my capture here.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

HFF, Herb!

Thanks Erhard.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Great wide angle, POV and dramatic sky.

HFF, Herb!

Cheers Dida. For me P.o.V is a great deal.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Een zeer mooie HFF -Herb--ik wens je een Prachtig Weekeinde Fav

Thanks for another visit and comment my friend.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

HFF to you too, Herb!

Thanks a lot Andy.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Definitely worth the effort a wonderful wide angle image the rock in the foreground gives it depth
I hope you are having a HFF Herb enjoy your weekend

Hi Peter, yes I too think that the rock is all-important here giving it depth as you see and say. Thanks for this.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

That fence looks a bit sandblasted... HFF!

It was George although some of it looked in quite good condition just around the corner.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

It's Neil, not George...

Very dramatic and effective. I know what you mean about sand and cameras - never sure whether it's a good idea! This is great though.

I'm sure it is not my friend. Sand is death to camera lenses, both internally and externally. I have even seen demonstrations of sand pitting the lens glass itself. I did consider all this and yet still did it -stupid or what!!! All for the HFF - silly really I suppose :) Glad you like it though -makes it all worthwhile :)

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

My pick for the week so far, Herb. A striking composition, great light and great sky. HFF and best wishes for the weekend.

You are too kind George. I know what you mean though, as when I examine all the HFF photos every week, I too choose a favourite. When I first saw this full screen I thought it fantastic but the feeling gradually grew off :) Glad you liked it though,

HFF and have a great weekend yourself, Herb

HFF to you Herb !
Amazing windy scene on a beautiful wild Irish beach !! beach

Nice to see you here Beatrice. There were many beaches like this, the next always more beautiful than the last. Glad you liked it.

HFF and have a wonderful weekend, Herb

Excellent picture Herb.
I am happy to know that you recognized it soon enough.
HFF to you and happy weekend.

Thanks for this Jose. Very happy that you enjoyed it.

HFF and have a wonderful weekend, Herb

HFF and a great weekend.

Thanl you Diedje.

HFF and have a wonderful weekend, Herb

A real winner Herb, not often you feel right in shot but this gives that feel,
HFF and a nice weekend

Yep, I can still see the exact scene through my viewfinder here Roger. My pleasure to share.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

What great effects and light caught here Herb ... all most certainly liked by me

Wishing you an HFF also and hope you have a good weekend

Best wishes ... Steve

Always good to share such scenes with you Steve, I did wonder at first if it was only me who could see the light on here but I can tell otherwise now. Cheers.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Lovely place, composition and colors.
Have a great weekend, my friend!

It certainly was a wonderful little bay. We had our picnic here,

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

A very beautiful effect, Herb. sure it was worth the effort !! HFF.

Happy to see you here Daniela. As long as I see no side-effects to sand in camera or lens I know that it was well worth it. Thanks for the visit.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

HFF!

HFF and have a great weekend too cp_u, Herb

A fantastic shot Herb................a dramatic sky and a great feeling of movement - despite the fact we can't actually "see" the wind, we can almost feel it..!! Just wonderful.

HFF to you, and I hope you have a splendid weekend.

It was sure there Keith. There were wisp of sand rolling down the edges and stone here but capturing that is always an art. Good that you feel this place and moment with me here.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

...the sand has worked much...a perfect shot, Herb...HFF...

Thanks so much Erika.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Fantastic shot. Seems to be a region with no people. HFF, enjoy your weekend !

There were not so many people here, let alone cities or towns. In other words a great place for a vacation, especially with a car and camera.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

A well composed image. I love the curve of the horizon and the colour contrast between sand and sky. HFF and a good weekend to you. Cheers, Joe

You see what I saw Joe. A perfect combination foe a HFF shot! Cheers mate.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Absolutely great shot! HFF!

Another of my photo's t o please you Cammino.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

A superb HFF Herb.
Have a great weekend.

Thanks so much Jeff.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

HFF and a very nice weekend !!!

Good to see you here Karp.

HFF and have a great weekend, Herb

Hi Herb

Very nice composition here!
I particularly like the sky, and also there is an impression that lots of sand is moving about in the wind.. (Although on 1/800 sec I do wonder if it is just a clever illusion!)

Best Wishes, HFF, and a good weekend

Peter

Hi Peter, I salute you! Out of all the viewers only you have put two and two together re the movement. Yes, it was rather bright, even more so with this very wide angle Tokina and so a fast shutter speed was called for. The movement, like some shots of my seas is exaggerated a little by the fact that like many of my presented photos, this is a hdr of three shots done over a second or so. In this way I capture the moving sand in three places hence the real sense of movement, you see the same particle in three different places. sometimes this works against me, but in this case it showed to its advantage. Very astute of you to notice. Glad you enjoyed it.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

Interessanter POV, Herb!
HFF und ein schönes Wochenende!

Glad you think so Trester.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

You can see all the rain drops on the sand , those clouds add to the scene. HFF

All the elements add up in this capture Steve. Very happy that you too like this popular contribution to this group.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

Great !
Have a fine weekend

Thanks you Erika.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

Moody an atmospheric with great textures and best of all for me is the feeling of movement in the sand. Well captured Herb. HFF and have a good weekend

Hi Carol -you see in here what I saw and felt. I too particularly liked the texture and colours in the mini sand-cliffs just behind the rock. As you say conveying that senses of movement.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

Gorgeous and well worth a bit of sand between the teeth (though hopefully not on your lens.)

With the generous comments that I have received here, it seems that you are right. Lens, and camera, so far, appear to be none the worse for all this.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

Yes, I like the feeling of the wind here.

Belated HFF to you, Herb. :)

Thanks K.e.s -I could see, hear and feel that but catching it on film is another matter. Glad it worked here.

HFF and enjoy your weekend, Herbert

very moody view, exquisite tones !
belated HFF and HWE !

Glad you like it Nora.

HFF and enjoy the rest of your weekend, Herb

excellent!

Glad you like it,

HFF and enjoy the rest of your weekend, Herb

Great effect and great composition!!

A very belated HFF.

Have a wonderful week!
