Yar River, Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, England

The final meanders of the Yar river just before reaching the town of Yarmouth. It’s a tiny river, just a few miles long, and this shot is part of the tidal estuary, which is why it looks so wide. It could be wilderness…but it’s not, it’s a tiny river surrounded by houses and shops and pubs….and the ferry back to the mainland is just a 10 minute walk away….

I don’t know why images have a certain colour when others taken at a similar time don’t…maybe it’s a dodgy in camera white balance thing, but all I did with this image was increase the contrast, and the yellow and blue intensified. So I left it there, I didn’t want to dull it down. Five minutes later and the blue may be replaced with a red hue or an orange hue….All picked up by the sensor for us to do with what we want….and when nature gives you something for free…I say go with it, use it and enhance it!
