Bembridge Lifeboat Station by seanoneill

Bembridge Lifeboat Station

Taken on our long walk around Bembridge Foreland when we were on the Isle of Wight
That lifeboat station is perched right out at sea.....how brave you would have to be to launch yourself off there with raging seas......I am so in awe!
Lovely shot with that lone leaning tree pointing the eye!

Great capture I like the contrast of the black against the light sky, well done.

Wonderful composition Sean.

Love this composition

Love the silhouette of the tree framing the pier, Sean. I usually like your use of negatives space but I think I would have squared this one off. Maybe its not sufficiently negative?

I too like the framing by the tree. My camera gets out lots but so little time to do anything seriously with it. Its inspiring to see your b and w work again

Hurray you found a lone tree! Defo leaning in the wind too.

@newbank Thank you Ruth. I can remember having 2 youngsters and I have no idea how you manage to find room for 365.

You need to stop this now. You're making me want to go to the Isle of Wight. ;)
Love your composition here.

@humphreyhippo Quite a few more to come I'm afraid. Get yourself over there. I love the place, and could see myself retired there one day! Remember to put your watch back 20 years if you go :-)

@seanoneill You should've gone to see Wightlink Raiders whilst you were over there. Apparently the rink is rather cosy. :)
It's probably twenty years since I went over to the island. Maybe I'll go back when the memory of that hi-speed ferry crossing finally fades. ;)

@humphreyhippo I had no idea there is a team on the island. I have been several times in recent years and it is always like a millpond!!

@seanoneill Right on Ryde Pier apparently. :)

I love the way the tree is bending towards the sea like it's desperately trying to reach it. Great composition and processing.

love the tree

I like the simplicity of this shot, yet it has foreground and background interest.
I'm sure you don't mind me pointing out though Sean, the horizon isn't straight.

Simply wonderful, a fav
