Photographer’s Note

This is a shot taken at Alnmouth in Northumberland.The village is supposed to have been established by de Vesci, the owner of Alnwick Castle, around 1150. The Normans laid out the town in the twelfth century, and it quickly began to prosper, to the extent that in 1207 Alnmouth was granted a charter for a port and a market. It was recognized as the most important medieval seaport between the rivers Tyne and Tweed. Alnmouth endured more than 300 years of border raids, but still prospered; the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries saw the village at its pinnacle.It is also reported that this is where Charles Dickens proposed to his cousin.
This is my first posting using my new camera.

Hi Lynne,
The portrait format works exceptionaly well here, as it enhances the heigth of the masts. The colours, lighting and clarity are all superb. What really adds impact to the image is the inclusion of the rippled beach sand.....such good texture and shadows. Very well done.
Cheers Grant

Hello Lynn,
Job well done with the new camera. Very good clarity with excellent details in the foreground. The pointed pole against the blue sky and the horizon are so perfectly composed.
Regards,
