Dramatic, beautiful Cornwall

Was home in Cornwall for a couple of weeks and took some pictures. Here are a few.























Thanks for looking

I'd lose the gigantic grey frames and the watermarks, they do nothing for the shots at all.

I love the shot of the 2 castles. I expect that you could come away with a stunning picture of them if they were shot at dawn/dusk, with more dramatic lighting.

I want to go to Cornwall, now !

The "Castles" are in fact old tin mines. Cornwall is famous for tin and in its hey day was the worlds leading producer. Old mines are scattered all over Cornwall . These ones, called the Crowns at Botallack, were built in 1815 and closed in 1914. They went down about 250 fathoms and then more than 400 meteres out under the sea. Sunset would be amazing for pictures as this is on the north coast.

I holiday in Cornwall each Summer and take the camera with me because every turn has a stunning coastline (I only wish I was a better photographer). Your pics capture the county well and I agree with one poster that early starts and late evenings would only go to enhance those views you have nicely captured. Can't wait to see your next set!
