This relatively simple pictorial silhouette has been very
successful indeed. It is one of a series of 3 shots taken in
rapid succession of the north bay at Scarborough.
The camera was a Pentax ME Super with 70/210 Vivitar Series 1
zoom - reasonable quality gear. Exposure was automatic, hence
the silhouette in the late afternoon sun. Technically there
are no problems although the left hand edge was printed in a
little.
The composition is a pleasing curve, but what makes it
successful ? I can`t really answer, but I believe it is simple
and strong, with little to gripe at.
Other than club success, this shot was one of the pictures
chosen for a monochrome calendar - £250 - Won £50 in the
monthly heat of a magazine competition, then won the overall
yearly prize in that magazine, a Canon T90. The picture had
also appeared in numerous magazines.
