I too spent a lot of my childhood in Skipsea and the Shanty Town was always a bit a mystery but there was open hostility whenever my family and I walked through - coupled with a warning sign about it being a private road. Quite a cheek for the occupants to warn people away when they probably didn't pay any rates!!<br /><br />CRHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985951537612478621.post-19959581483927437572013-06-13T07:00:15.360+01:002013-06-13T07:00:15.360+01:00I grew up in skipsea and while there is a rustic d...I grew up in skipsea and while there is a rustic decay quality in photography the reality is that these houses were built without planning permission by people largely not from the area (most from west yorkshire), and I'm my view have ruined the cliff top and beach with debris.<br /><br />There also has been a fair amount of criminal element living there, in the 80's there was a scrapyard which had more than a few nicked cars passs through, in the lakebed area with little cart rails.<br /><br />I've know a few dodgy charachters up there nicking from the campsites and farms locally and personally I'll be glad when the sea washes the shanty town away for goodAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985951537612478621.post-6626163697856985032011-03-03T11:49:49.620+00:002011-03-03T11:49:49.620+00:00Not the 4th, what am I talking about - the 12th Ma...Not the 4th, what am I talking about - the 12th Marchmarmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391253482055150718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985951537612478621.post-5818483893902309472011-03-02T21:38:44.779+00:002011-03-02T21:38:44.779+00:00Hi Nigel.

A little playing in photoshop with the colour saturation, contrast and levels is all I did with these. None taken with the large format - I'm loading provia 160nc which is more portrait than landscape film, but I have heard they're doing away with nc and vc which will be great for me so you can do landscapes and portraits using the same film. They decided that most people scan and manipulate the colours after anyway so there is no need for a highly saturated film. I'm also not in the habit of carrying it around everywhere yet, I sort of fall back on the digital like a comfort blanket!!<br /><br />No, I won't be at Focus - spend too much sitting in my office at home, can't imagine what damage I would do if I went there. I am instead going to Derby on the 4th March though, really looking forward to that!marmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391253482055150718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985951537612478621.post-21419289112776271892011-03-02T21:06:32.685+00:002011-03-02T21:06:32.685+00:00PS.

What an amazing location and gorgeous photographs Penny. I love the way you semi desaturate or part tint, ime not sure what you do but it is well done and suits the place. I had read about a similar technique in B&W Photography magazine, had a go but couldnt say it worked for me becouse I didnt have the right subject. Did you shoot any on the Ebony ?Nigel Robersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09911890366930168606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7985951537612478621.post-42702226959611516382011-02-28T21:18:04.991+00:002011-02-28T21:18:04.991+00:00Thanks Duncan.

Have a look at this link http://www.bbc.co.uk/tv/features/southriding/aps/locations.shtml<br />It is the very same place. This is the tram that had to be moved by a crane because of a bad storm. How weird is that!!! I've been trying to find the date as it must have been a least a year ago that it was filmed. I've added a picture at the bottom of the post with a recent picture of it.

This looks very like one of the settings in South Riding. So much so that I thought it might have been filmed there but on reading the story I imagine health and safety would have ruled filming out.
