Boscastle, Cornwall

Posted by
Doug (Burnham-on-Sea, United Kingdom) on 9 March 2013 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Taken today with the HDR app on my phone then slightly desaturated with the photoshop mobile app, not one of my best images but very limited on what I'm able to put on at present. I love Boscastle it's one of those really special places. Hopefully some better images to come when I'm home from my travels and can upload the images from my camera.

Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

Yes, this certainly seems a cool place. This sort of looks like vintage color film to me.

(This is a positive comment) This has a child-like simplicity, like a first attempt at painting with watercolours. I really like it

@CElliottUK: Although I wasn't pleased when I put it on I have to admit the more I look at it the more I like it

Great POV and I think this really works , it is like the covers of the Batsford books by Brian Cook

Judy aka L@dybug from Brooksville, FL, United States

A gorgeous place and I concur with Chris. It has a painterly appearance ... like an old 'paint by number' effect.

Joyce from Montana, United States

Hey! stop that! It looks like a classical Matisse or something. I love the ambiance and treatment. It departs reality in cool way.

You say it's not one of your best, but it's not bad either. I think this extends perfectly on what I was saying about the camera business has some steep competition from mobiles. Especially the compact range.

I like the resolution you phone camera provided. The adjustments look very acceptable to me. Very well done.

Rick from Toronto, Canada

As a "stand alone" pictorial representation, I think it is fantastic looking. The place is very textural and picturesque and I look forward to more of what you may share.

luridly lovely :)

Mooie from Vancouver, Canada

I like it... feels like a water color... especially the stones that create the bank of the waterway... Give the town a very quaint, post card like feel! Maybe not what you were imagining.... but still an impression!

It is not easy to make daily images in this season, but those banks are certainly wonderful!

Kate from EXETER, United Kingdom

it gives it a sort of postcard quality that I love, reminds me of holidays in Cornwall as a child.

Hi Doug, back for a quick visit, been chasing Snowy owls @ 8km/day for over two weeks. I Love this shot that you did, it looks like a water color, and has an innocent look about it. I'll have to check out the program that you used. I'll check back sometime, been very busy with owls, building my own web site, and house maintence. :-) keep up the good work.
