On top of Ditchling Beacon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Yesterday I took my wife, by car, along some of the route we traveled on the London to Brighton bike ride. This was taken at the top of Ditchling Beacon, the highest point on the ride, a category 2 hill, which came almost at the end of the 57 mile journey.

This is the view facing north towards London.

Hi Roberto,
Nice POV. I wouldn't have done it but it is excellent.
Light was just perfect.
Cheers

Hello Roberto
Surprenant l'idée d'avoir utilisé le parc comme point d'entrée à l'image.
Le résultat est très bon.
Bonne soirée

Hi Roberto,
unusual shot... very good diagonal composition with the line of fence... Nice view with the clouds... superb colours. Well done.
Best regards,

Hi Roberto,
very interesting POV, with the fence adding another dimension to your composition. I wouldn't have done it neither, but here it really works. Great job!

Nice shot Roberto. It all fits together very well. Good depth throughout with the cars well placed in the divide between the wire mesh and barbed wire. Well done! It must have been nice to travel along the route. I just hope you didn't try and shoot backwards whilst driving your car ;)!!

All the best, Cass

Hi Roberto.
A superbl composed shot, full of interest. The close-up of the fence post is a good idea, adding great depth to the shot, and making us look immediately at the curving road between the barbed wires. Good choice to wait for cars to come around the bend, too. The sky is great, the colours natural, and good depth of field. Lovely countryside, and a great shot. Well done.
Regards,
Andrew

hi Roberto! beautiful Sussex landscape.. we were lucky -- last weekend the weather was really cool and additional white clouds were the nice addition. I like the fence as a main foreground -- without that it would be just another view shot. I'd maybe choose the wide angle to show more on right side and maybe get rid of the street, but that's just my humble option.
see you somewhere around with cameras ;)

Hi Roberto.

Splendid landscape with a good composition. That diagonal in the composition adds graphism and a lot of interest.

Regards.
