The long exposure really adds interest to this
Thanks for dropping by and for the feedback. Big skies are one advantage of living in a very flat area.

No light painting then?
I was going to do the same - head out to my local mast and take some shots. The weather has been dire though. I'd say the poor conditions haven't affected your shot - love the sky!
Hope you got the loo rolls!
Thanks. I hope you manage to get your shot sorted. I did contemplate your light painting suggestion but as the mast is right by a farmhouse with an attached chicken farm running around with torches at night might attract some unwanted attention. Thanks for the idea!
Went shopping yesterday and the loo roll shelves were empty... I really fail to understand this

Sharp - Great photo - love it!
Digital age - I like the dramatic sky and the movement in the clouds and trees. Not sure I would have recognised that it had an IR effect added but I suppose it was a way of increasing the contrast in the sky (and a shoehorn for the technique) .

Back to wandering locally with no tripod. Thought of soft focus and decided to try some ICM to create the effect.

Thanks guys. It took a lot of shots to find the right combination of aperture and movement so it was still a recognisable image.

A lovely afternoon walk during lockdown - the path starts opposite my house and gets very narrow during the summer when the trees are in full leaf.

The East Anglian coast has inspired many to put pen to paper.. be it writers, artists or musicians. Celebrated at Aldeburgh with the (in)famous scallop..
I hear the squeak of shoe meeting horn

Hi Helen,
Paper - Hehehe, a worth horning of the shoe. Lovely shot, very striking in B&W.
Narrow - Very Autumnal. The light does seem very golden.
Snappers - Interesting effect, but surely this is ICM rather than Soft Focus ?
Digital Age - Works for me. B&W does seem to me to be the way to go with shots like this, gives them more impact.
Sharp - Quite high key ish too. I really like the minimalist effect of the shot, and the lifeguard hut is in sharp contrast to the beach.

Narrow. A lovely landscape Helen and the colours are gorgeous.
Paper: Might be a shoehorn but that's another lovely coastal shot and it works wonderfully in mono.

I’m a fan of minimalistic, so I love your paper shot, albeit a shoehorn [emoji23] It works really well in black and white.
How lucky are you to have a path like that in Narrow, right next to where you live. Beautiful autumnal scene.
I’ve had a play with ICM and I know it takes a lot of attempts to get the right shot. I think the colours work well in this.

We are going to need a bigger shoehorn, nice image though
Squeak squeak squeeeeeak
A nice plain and simple image, I like it
That's a nice black and white shot. Good use of long exposure and composition too. The shoehorns are getting better by the week in this challenge.
Thanks for stopping by and for the comments.. I was rather pleased to make good use of a flat grey day to come up with something I was pretty happy with.

Thanks for the comments. I find myself drawn to the minimalist mono images and given my coastal location and big skies (often grey and flat too) I seem to be developing a certain "style" which I like.

Thanks Kell... love your idea. Go for it! I do find the various interpretations of a theme interesting - often a path my mind would never have taken me down.
