Red boat

Despite having a camera in my hand much of the time I very rarely take a photograph that I actually like, in fact I can think of probably only three in my lifetime!

However, at Robin Hoods Bay last weekend, just for once I managed to take a series that I think are ok so I'm gonna blow my own trumpet just a tiny bit! That said, I was lucky, I happened to notice a scrap of evening sunlight hitting the red tarpaulin when everything else was shrouded in mist...and it hung around long enough to take a few pictures!

Here are a few of them:

I know what you mean, I have the same feeling, I always carry my camera too and Rob always asks the question - "What you taking it for you never use it"?
Your pictures of the red tarpaulin on the wee boat reminds me of the wee girl in the red coat in the film Schindlers List - and also that horror film of the tiny man in a red duffle coat with the huge knife in a horror film set in Venice that I saw years ago ooooerr.. ! Talk about red for danger.... Cheers Kate x.
(I told you that your posts always make me think).

P.S. When I meant was that the RED stands out and you remember it - I really am going Doolally now!

I always have a camera but more often than not, I tend to reach for my phone instead of proper camera.
No wonder my pictures always turn out so pants.

I love the light in those pics, and yes, the red makes them very special! Well spotted, and well captured!

I bought a little compact digital because I can never be bothered to take the digital SLR out with me. It's so big ... and the little Panasonic does a great job for snaps. ;)

You're just a little bit good at this photography lark.

Stop it at once, it makes the rest of us look bad.

WOW.. very nice.

I've seen pics from "Robin Hoods Bay" from Snowbabies before. It looks like such a wonderful place

ian: I keep telling her she should do it for a living. :) She could be someone's snapper, for sure.
