Bleak by graemestevens

Bleak

I think winter may have arrived, finally. The season I spend 9 months of the year waiting for.
Best on black if you have the time.
Wonderful. Captures the mood perfectly.

nice!
May 23rd, 2015  
Oh my...it is best on black.
May 23rd, 2015  
I agree, great on black.
May 23rd, 2015  
Excellent! Hope this means summer is just around the corner here :)

have you fully recovered?
May 24th, 2015  
Waiting for winter pfft
again pfft
May 24th, 2015  
It shimmers with the black - definitely better. Cold winds, cold feet and cold noses?
May 24th, 2015  
FAV.... wonderful!
May 24th, 2015  
Fantastic! Love how when it is viewed on black you can see the mist in the waves.It really comes alive on black.
May 24th, 2015  
Awesome shot, welcome to winter. 80 F here today.
May 24th, 2015  
@spanner thanks very much, always appreciated
@siniestro Thanks very much :)
@aecasey Thanks very much indeed :)
@shepherdmanswife Thanks very much - every now and then I get it right ;)
@northy Thanks...and after last night...nope ;)
@annied Winter is my favourite, moody, dramatic, cold
@maggiemae Cold everything's! And thank you :)
@kwind Thanks very much :)
@janiskay Thank you so much :)
May 24th, 2015  
@bigugly Thanks...personally I love winter :)
May 24th, 2015  
@graemestevens Try one of mine :)
May 24th, 2015  
I've told you before, you're good - very good - at these... more please.
May 24th, 2015  
This is an awesome shot. There is a 19th century painter I admire, Oscar David Fredrich, and these photographs have that same feel.
May 24th, 2015  
Awesome photo - and even better on black indeed. I'm on the opposite hemisphere but I do love my winters as well!
May 24th, 2015  
Super shot. I thought I prefered summer, but have decided winter is far more fun and interesting.
May 24th, 2015  
@graemestevens I like the moody and dramatic but its a tad boring in many other ways
May 24th, 2015  
i'M COLD....
May 24th, 2015  
Ah bleak and more bleak :))
May 24th, 2015  
This weekend is our official start to summer. You can have winter. :-)
May 24th, 2015  
@eyeamlisa You can have summer - I love winter!
@hermann I really do like bleak weather ;)
@kali66 Me too but I love it!!!
@annied It's far better than summer, all those people with hardly any clothing on, sweat, sun burn, rashes...icky
@ukandie1 Thanks very much and absolutely :)
@kerosene It's my favourite season, just love it - and thanks
@melston Thanks very much - I'll have a look at some of that :)
@vignouse Thank you kind sir, you have mentioned that in passing and I think that while the weather is playing along you may get your wish :)
@bigugly Ah, no...I've seen your winter photos and I'm happy to stay with my winter
May 24th, 2015  
@graemestevens hahahahahahaha I just like being in the ocean - I try to ignore the scantily clad and sweaty - and if you slip slop slap slide and seek there should be no sunburn ( yep did a whole sun safety theme with every class last term )
May 24th, 2015  
@bigugly Graeme only likes the Southern Hemisphere winters - either that or he doesn't like your photos hahahahahaha @graemestevens
May 24th, 2015  
Winter would be fine if only it was a bit warmer.... :)
May 24th, 2015  
Love the well defiled shapes, I tried on Saturday using the wide angle lens and I just cannot get the feelings shown in your shots. I need to find another spot to try again.
May 24th, 2015  
Sue
Another 'cool' shot!
May 24th, 2015  
@annied @bigugly No no, I like the photos...there's just too much winter in them
@alinz Oooh no, I like the cold :)
@yaorenliu It took me quite a while to get the hang of it - keep trying!!!
@sioux Haha, I see what you did there - and thanks :)
May 24th, 2015  
Awesome landscape. Can we look at pictures on black? :)
May 24th, 2015  
@karlow75 Thanks - most of my shots are best blacked out, but if you click on the pic it should load on a black background....then again, just try with your eyes closed, it's even better that way ;)
May 24th, 2015  
@graemestevens or, I could use a sharpie on my screen. That's if I can get the liquid paper off it from my spelling mistakes.
May 24th, 2015  
@karlow75 I know the feeling...
May 24th, 2015  
Great scale and shot
May 24th, 2015  
I like bleak, desolate!
May 24th, 2015  
Sam
It was sunny today but so damn cold! After freezing to death outside trying to work in our garden, I decided that lying on the couch was a better outcome for all involved. Oh, nice photo too :)
May 24th, 2015  
Love the beach in winter, no one expects me to get in the water and fewer people around.
May 24th, 2015  
@karlow75 @graemestevens hahaha you two are such twats
May 24th, 2015  
@wearing0 Thanks very much :)
@overalvandaan Me too ;)
@gigiflower Thanks very much - not too cold here today
@deliad That's my thinking as well ;)
May 24th, 2015  
@graemestevens I must agree, way too much winter in them.
May 24th, 2015  
Just a wonderful shot, Graeme!
May 24th, 2015  
@susanalena Thanks very much indeed :)
May 24th, 2015  
I don't understand the aperture setting in your shot, it always says 1.3f?
May 24th, 2015  
@yaorenliu I know, it's actually 2.8 so I'm not sure why it says 1.3...it is a fully manual lens though so that could have something to do with it
May 25th, 2015  
very best on black. love the crop. beautifully bleak
May 25th, 2015  
@brigette Thank you very much :)
May 25th, 2015  
Are those angry breakers under your control?
May 25th, 2015  
wonderful, bleak and cold. just like our summer in the northern hemisphere - do you want to swap?
May 26th, 2015  
ah and fav - this is stunning
May 26th, 2015  
@jack4john I hope so...I really do...
@ingrid2101 Oh yes, if your summer is like this I'll take it! And thank you very much :)
May 26th, 2015  
Catching up... this is beautiful, especially the textures in rocks and the mists off the ocean.
