Low Tide by onewing

Low Tide

It is a busy day here today and this is a quick turn around, just enough time to have a quick cuppa and post today's photo and then we are off again.

Today is the first day of this years season of live theatre in Newcastle and we had a light lunch with friends and then to the matinee performance of the play I Ought to be in Pictures at the amateur theatre in Lambton. Absolutely brilliant performance. We have all just got back to our house for a quick cuppa and then we are off out for dinner at Fingal Bay. I will catch up later this evening.

I took this photo a couple of days ago when there were clouds in the sky. It was still a very hot day, but I thought I would try and make it look cooler by turning it into a black and white photo.

In the picture are mangroves and oyster beds at low tide in Salamander Bay.
what a great b&w Babs
enjoy your evening :)

Babs, it sounds like you need a holiday. You are so busy.😊
January 21st, 2018  
Great shot

Terrific shot Babs. There's a real feel of desolation here. I think the lone tree, those moody clouds and your processing have really captured the mood well here. Fav for me 😊

Beautiful endless space. great in B&W

A great b&w image.

Love the feel of the wide open space . The B/W edit does give it a feel of a cold winter's day -- it could well be the UK !!!

Very flat territory here - works well in B&W.

Do you ever sit still Babs?
January 21st, 2018  
Smiling at what Merrelyn said! Is it still very hot?

A lovely composition, looks very remote

I like the contrast that the mangroves and the groins give to this shot. Looks good in black and white.
January 21st, 2018  
You're never still Babs..good for you! I must say this works so well in b/w cooling the photo down nicely but we are liking hot, it's far too cold here for black & white ha ha! Love the lone tree& the wooden poles sticking up.
January 21st, 2018

January 21st, 2018

The black and white does make this scene look cooler doesn't it. I think it was about 32 degrees C. Still hot today.

@merrelyn @casablanca @happypat I do sit still occasionally, but there is always something going on here and I don't want to miss it do I, we are a long time dead.
Yes it is still hot, but not too drastic. I think it is around 32 degrees c today. Not quite up to the 40 plus temperatures they have had in some parts of the country.
January 22nd, 2018  
Beautiful atmospheric scene. I just love the feeling of space.
January 22nd, 2018  
Very " moody" shot.
