The Old Mill, Langstone Harbour

Taken at the top of a very high tide. Another couple of feet and those posh cars would have been in trouble!

Taken with my phone. The lens on my camera wasn't wide enough to get the whole scene in.

Better viewed large I think.

Cracking shot I really like the building on the right and people are so inconsiderate parking their cars in photogenic places it should have a sign saying "parking for classic cars only" :-))
Looks even better viewed large.

I keep a 14-150mm attached to my camera and find it covers most things but phone cameras now have the quality where it is difficult, or even impossible to tell the difference.

Keith Burton replied to James:

Ha, ha..........the cars will be there until low tide. The only other way out is on foot or by boat..!!

The mill has been residential for over a hundred years. The other building used to be a grain store I think, but I don't know what it's used for nowadays. I'd bet there is a boat or two in there though!

I've got a 12-100mm lens, which I should have taken with me on that day, but the phone did the job nicely!

Glad you like t his one James.......many thanks!!

Whoa that is a very high tide. Hope you could still get in the Royal Oak Keith.

Keith Burton replied to Ajophotog:

It was indeed. We couldn't get past the Mill Pond as the footpath was flooded.........and there were a couple of small sailing boats moored outside the pub. The water had just reached the top of the footpath outside the pub doors.

We spent a peaceful hour or so in the pub garden, before leaving. Jackie and I got the bus back and the others walked..!! It was a lovely afternoon ;-)

Dein Handy macht sehr schöne Bilder lieber Keith,wenn man ein gutes Licht hat,steht es einer Kamera nicht viel nach,sehr schön hast du diesen Häuser am Wasser aufgenommen,ich habe gelesen,dass es innen sehr schön ist,da hast du einen tollen Ort aufgesucht :))

Ich habe es heute schon wieder aufgegeben,seit gestern funktioniert alles wieder sehr langsam und schleppend,da hat man keine Freude,deswegen habe ich auch heute mal nichts gepostet lieber Keith,hoffe,dass es bald wieder besser funktioniert :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Abend,liebe Grüße Güni :))

Keith Burton replied to Günter Klaus:

Yes, you're quite right Güni.......sometimes it's impossible to tell whether a photo was taken with a phone camera or with a "real" camera!

Glad you like the photo my friend and thanks for your kind comments. Very much appreciated.

I don't blame you for giving up trying to post and comment yesterday. Ipernity was painfully slow. It seems better today........but only just!

Have a lovely evening. Best wishes, Keith :-)
