Dragged my tripod along the beach looking for a single post. This was the nearest I could find.

Beautiful shot. Nice processing. Like the starkness of the pipe against the nearly white sea and sand. Is it a picture of a pipe dumping waste water. Glad you found time to submit, as I thought this assignment suited you. Hope your probate stuff has cleared up.

Great entry. A very stark contrast there. Do you mind if I ask what time of the day the photo was shot?

Cheers,
Simon.

Hi Gotsy!

Thanks v. much for the comment. I think it's an old, disused pipe. Glad I was able to find something to submit! I've been working with my toy cameras of late, which is probably not the ideal medium for FM-sters. Also meant I was back in the darkroom, which is more time-consuming. I didn't do much processing on this - it was deliberately slightly over-exposed (see exif below), because of the water effect and in order to reduce the detail and enhance the geometry, and then just converted to b&w.

Hope all's well with you

Hi Simon

Thanks for the comment. It was an evening shot. I wanted to do a longer exposure but only managed 6 secs. Here's grab of the exif:

Quite good! (This also reminds me of a Harry Callahan image.) Well done.

Hi Strad

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I always appreciate your words.

My mother has been in hospital after an accident/breaking her arm. And been busy with the vintage toy cameras of late, and smelling darkroom chemicals...forgotten how much time that takes...

Speaking of breathing in darkroom chemicals...where is the Flibble...

They let me out. I got to wear my favourite blonde wig. I had a most excellent adventure. They made a video. I'm famous.

(Best with sound)

Should be back to my normal routine next week...

It took Flibble all of 9 minutes to reply

. Flibble and his banana are back with a vengeance

Suse, this is perfect for the theme. I love your processing. One can lose one's self int he abstractness of your shot. Very peaceful, yet somehow seductive.

When I first saw this on the thumbnail I was wondering who had snow already. Now I know better. Neat shot and processing. Very dreamlike. I like it a lot.
