Sand dune and fencing at Formby Point, England. Winter storms and high spring tides had taken their toll on the landscape at Formby Point, and the in some places the dunes had been considerably eroded since I was last there only a few months ago. This area is owned by the National Trust and they were working hard at conserving this area of Britain's coast.

Dune fence and wire
Dune fence and wire at Formby Point, England. late March saw another trip to Formby Point near Southport in England. It was an unexpectedly sunny day so I managed to get a few more shots of the sand dunes on the beach here.

Sand dune fencing at Formby Point. This is a shot that worked equally well in black and white and colour, and therefore it relies almost entirely on strong composition.

Fence post in the moorlands. I think that this was taken using a red filter, but I am not sure. The post is positioned one third in from the right and the horizon one third up from the bottom. The key thing here was a low viewpoint. I was either lying on the grass or squatting down and holding the camera low to get this shot. The low viewpoint means that the fence post is not lost against the background of grass, but rather, stands boldly against the sky.
Fence
Fence around Mow Cop castle folly. I just loved the strong dominant shape of this fence and the way it leads the eye into the picture. This works even better in high contrast black and white. A low viewpoint was chosen to help eliminate any distracting background, and a wide andle lens used (28mm) to increase the sense of perspective.
