Some new takes on familiar scenes - nice set of 'snaps' Joe!

A few of us need a get-together in Dorset one summer to share locations and for a few photoshoots! It's nice to see this most rewarding area getting even more attention this year and you've picked more highlights from the very interesting terrain around the country.

A good varied collection here with a range of colour tones. All interesting compositions as well. Favourites for me are the 'Durdle Dur' beach which has an original viewpoint and great use of those rocks on the lower right to provide needed balance. The water has what I call ' those Swanage Blues' full of rich greens as well which I have found often gives some of my images from there a far more equatorial feel than is expected.

Also the high view through the trees of Chesil Beach, which has lovely depth and a strong leading line inwards. Perhaps this could be trimmed narrower and taller a bit?

Thanks for showing us even more of Dorset!

Very enjoyable. I really like the Sunset shot. Shows Dorset at its best !

thanks for all the comments, last in Weymouth about 30 years ago but will return sooner than that i think. the bain of my photography is walking in front of me on the pier ,"should only take a couple of seconds to take a picture", don't you just love 'em

A very enjoyable set. I'm very fond of that stretch of coastline.

Very nice shots, I like them all!
