Charcoal Boats

Salen, Mull, Scotland

On the afternoon of my first visit to Salen the weather was fairly unkind, flat light, white skies and a drizzle so heavy and fine that the backdrop was partially concealed in mist. Oddly I rather liked the effect as it tended to de-clutter the backdrop and concentrate attention on the very lovely textures evident on the two wrecked boats. As a consequence I borrowed a healthy dollop of artistic license and applied it with a trowel to the image originally made in colour to turn it into a charcoal etched black and white image. Not for everyone I'm sure but I quite like the result.

NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses and fine art cards are now available at TRANSIENT LIGHT

Those boats are slowly decaying but make for great pictures.

Very nice composition. The b&w charcoal works well. V
