p.1 #1 · First look at the Cliffs


Our first stop was the ferry terminal at Dover. While waiting to drive onto the large vessel, we walked around to stretch the legs, and of course, see what there was to shoot.
Nothing special, but they do, I hope, convey the gloomy, and cold weather we experienced, that day, and for much of the trip, and I liked the soft color contrasts.

1) The White Cliffs of Dover weren't so white, that day.
2) Occasionally, a shaft of light made it through the overcast. (extreme crop, to avoid the dock facilities)

Hope some will enjoy these. C&C most welcome, and thanks.

Barry

Absolutely love the super soft light and minimalist approach to these Barry, the 2nd would be my pick here but not by much, nice work my friend.

Hello Barry,

They do have a dense, subdued look to them, and the even light is calming. Thanks for sharing the beginning of the adventure.

Hi Barry - like the second with the moment of light on on the chalk cliff face - nice timing. Paul

#2 is wonderful... really like the composition.

I wonder how much better #1 would be with a crop of the sky?

Best!

Both are very nice, Barry. I like the soft tones and the gloomy atmosphere.

Good work with both of these Barry. I like the closer look of the second one.

Both have wonderful textures but the second comp has a super feeling of clarity the light offers.

Hi Barry,

Like both of these. The second is special,though, with the chalk lit in spite of the subdued light.

Thanks very much, all!! All your kind comments mean a lot to me.
Seems like there's a concensus for #2. I tend to agree

Hey Barry. That's a very nice take on the well known cliffs and a good job in less than ideal conditions (IMO of course). I'll echo the others and say #2 feels stronger. Just the cliff and the sea that blends nicely into the sky. Plus I feel the light was more co-operative compared to the first shot.

Nice, Barry. That was a sweet moment when the end of the cliffs briefly caught that golden light (no 2); made up for the cold haging about on the dockside!

Milan and Martin, thank you both.
It was a very cool moment, to see the iconic site first hand, then when the light hit, it was a major treat!!
