Direction - a photo on Flickriver

Direction

My thanks definitely have to go out to my good friend Chris (and personal chauffeur, who's not on Flickr) who without, this shot would not have been possible.

It's Dungeness, somewhere I have wanted to get to for a long time, but I don't drive and it's very difficult to get to otherwise.

This walkway has been shot by so many great photographers here on Flickr and I've always wanted to try my hand at it. It was one of the last shots I took towards the end of the day and the conditions were just perfect for it.

Thanks as well to artery-crea who is a work colleague who works in our Studio. He has been very kind and very patient in answering MANY questions I have had on processing techniques. Also, he has just bought an SLR and is off to a flying start, so check out his stream.

OH AND I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I SOLD MY FIRST SHOT, OF: THE RYE TREE :-)
