A couple from a wet 'n' dark Scarborough

[Bend The Light]

Went to Scarborough for the day, as we tend to do when it's cold wet 'n; windy. Here are a handful of snaps - some HDR, and some may not be to taste, but a bit of everything. Let me know what you think.

I like what you did with the first three, they look like those postcards from the 1920s.

#3 is my fav. Really tells a story.

Thanks. Fast becoming a favourite that.

I like the photos, quite nice.

My issue is the watermark. It's extremely distracting. I'm all for them but I would at least bring the opacity down to 50%

Will never win when it comes to a logo (not a watermark - too bright ).
I put the same photos, reduced in size, everywhere on t'interwebs. I'm not bothered in most cases if people copy them, but in many cases I just want my badge out there. But it's a never ending debate, isn't it?

Cheers

That it is indeed. I can also understand your reasoning. To each their own I guess. :thumbsup:

#3 is my fav, it really shows that winter has set in (id imagine that place would be busy in the summer) and therefore the shop keeper looks rather bored haha

Thanks. A clear favourite from the set, that one. Seems she's one of only a couple of die hard fishmongers...here's the other:

Yes, in the cold and wet, Scarborough sure looks different from when I went there in May 2010; your treatment to your photos helps the "dark and wet" along nicely. Interesting half desaturation leaving the red-and-yellow bright, PLUS its reflection (Photo 1). I quite like that one, more so since I may very well have walked that street back then .

If you've been to Scarborough you will surely have walked that street - it's right on the front - sand to the right of the picture.

Yes. We had cream tea someplace near to where you took this photo, I am just sure we did!
And your logo... as much as you find it necessary ... erm ... well ... how do I put it ... fully in colour as it is ... and your photos partly desaturated ... it ...erm ... IS distractive...

Yes, I know about the logo. I share my photos all over the place and use only the one copy from Flickr...so the logo is there on all of them.
It's a case of "Win some, Lose some" and something that crops up all the time...people could debate it forever.

Interesting set; I can't see the third or fourth photos for some reasons, says it's "Currently unavailable."
