Waiting for the Sun to set ...

Blackrocks in Derbyshire on the RBUK weekend meet .. I’ve transported Peter Langman up to a dizzy height in this shot to give it scale …... and because he’s always tired ….

    Jenny Haskey

    Wow – thats fab Richie! Tee hee – the only thing Pete’s got to worry about is getting blown off – I mean it was blustery enough as it was but jeez it must be hard when you are just a cardboard cut out…

  • richiedean replied

    ( laughs ) he’d be gone iiinn one …. you’re a bit of a card yourself Jenny :))

  • Jenny Haskey

    Jenny Haskey

    Tee hee – well I have a shot at everything me you know…

    This is fabulous Richie (funny guy), I think Peter might get some awesome shots from where he is placed! LOL! Love the treatment, fabulous work!!

  • richiedean replied

    I utterly adore what you’ve done with this Richie. This is magical and looks like it’s up on the 8 hour territory for tweaking there’s so many layers here. The golden glow and textures are magical and that cardboard cutout of Mr Langman looks more wobbly than usual! (He wasn’t there)

  • richiedean replied

    Cheers Stuart, I managed to condense this one into a hour …. (too much practice) ... and as Jenny said … a sudden gust of wind and he wouldnt be there …...

  • Jenny Haskey

    Jenny Haskey

    Oooh – now then have I ever told you about I managed to hit the target – fascinating story it is…. ;D

  • richiedean replied

    I’m sure I was there at the time … cant swear to it though …. I’ll definitely buy the book ….. is there a DVD ?

  • Rhana Griffin

    Thanks for the scale there Richie searches closely for any graffiti (insert cheeky grin here)

    This…. is superb. Right up there with my all time faves from you.

  • richiedean replied

    Well …. thanks for the tip Rhan … seems to be working very well those etchings are a bit rude aint they ....... :))

    Not gone to DVD yet – just about to launch as a blockbuster at your local cinema… I can’t quite keep up with all the media activity but there is a hat so someone is bound to have created a t-shirt…

  • richiedean replied

    I want the hat, perhaps get the shirt in summer, not much of a local fleapit goer, so I’ll hang on for the disc …... have you considered bodyguards ?

  • cherylc1

    cherylc1

    and WOW !!!!!!-brillant

  • Jenny Haskey

    Jenny Haskey

    Ha ha – I’ve given much consideration to bodyguards – only problem is the guys I had in mind are always complaining of being tired… Looks like I’ll have to rely on Barney the sulky cat – my assassination could be looming now…

  • richiedean replied

    Poor old Barney .. how d’you plan to use him … oh … and poor you of course, we’ll have to arrange another RBUK meeting …. safety in numbers !!

  • Jan Piller

    Jan Piller

    Richie Richie Richie…...... you outdid yourself dude!

  • richiedean replied

    Why thank you Jan … nice compliment :))

  • Jenny Haskey

    Jenny Haskey

    Well he was supposed to protect me from any crazed fans – however since I left him with my brother for a whole four days he now hates me & is probably the most likeliest to turn on me first!

    Richie Dean – I’ve just realised you really do encourage my mad ramblings!!! But yey any excuse for another RBUK meeting & if we need my insanity to make it happen quicker then I’ll gladly oblige…

  • richiedean replied

    Ha ha Jenny, that sounds really good to me …. where were you thinking of holding it ….

  • Jenny Haskey

    Jenny Haskey

    Hmmm how about wherever it is I am taken once the authorities read this & I am institutionalised…

  • richiedean replied

    As long as you can announce it on RB, we’ll be there :))

  • nancyames

    nancyames

    Obviously this is a very popular picture, and deservedly so – I will only add that I think you have an exceptional sense of landscape and the spirit of a place, the sort of thing that has always called the explorers to go forward.
