K7 Visits Dorset .... the 1st Overview
Some beautiful views there.Looks like you had decent weather too. We're off to Paignton on the 6th sept for a week so I'll see if I can get a few shots somewhere close to the quality of these crackers..
Amazing colours in the water on the 1st and 2nd.

I like them. That area is very photogenic. I like 4,6,7 best. 4 doesn't look too dark to me!

P.S. Congrats on the new McGregNi!
Great set, Nigel. An area I know very well so it's good to get someone else's take on compositions that I don't always 'see', if you get my drift.
Regards
Nigel
Thanks Nigel! I didn't get the chance to get down to the purple heather at Studland, after seeing your pics, but as we were leaving I saw that it was losing its colour anyway... Another year hopefully. Keep an eye out, there's loads to come, including more of Durlston, Old Harry, Swanage Bay, Poole Harbour and Corfe Castle!
Philip, (Mrb), glad you like them, and the processing is my usual routine ... RAW conversion in Sagelight 4 with the main tonal adjustments and contrast, a bit of vibrance & polarizer filter also, then a TIFF and into Photoshop for any layers if needed (the very low light ones have 2 exposures blended), Topaz DeNoise, and final colour balance changes it needed, then a little extra Smart Sharpen filter at the end. It may sound a lot, bit is all fairly delicate
Thaanks to snoops, algi, Andy & k10 as well, I appreciate your replies
