Malcolm Blenkey
I am a hobbyist photographer, with a passion for landscape photography. My greatest claim to fame is that I have had five commended images in the annual Landscape Photographer of the Year competition organised by Charlie Waite.
My objective with this set of images is to interpret the mood and feel of a selection of local coastal locations that I know well. The locations of these images are along a twenty mile stretch of the North Yorkshire coast between Redcar and Whitby, all of which are within a five to thirty-minute drive from where I live. This close proximity allows me to visit them at times when the light and tidal conditions are likely to provide naturally photogenic opportunities.
These images are largely created using in-camera techniques with the aid of; Polarising, Neutral Density and graduated Neutral Density filters. Post processing is limited to the correction of colour balance and light levels to replicate the transient mood of the location at the time.
