I couldn't resist putting up another shot of this abandoned TV, taken further back up the beach, pretty near to where we found it. And thanks for all the great comments on yesterday's version, they're much appreciated.

Wonderful.
comment byJorge Lesmes at 09:08 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Great shot. I like this one more that yesterday´s. By the way, the two rock.
comment byRoger at 09:13 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Cool conversion. Looks like snow almost. I do prefer the color one though.
comment by Shaun H at 09:21 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
you did properly dispose of the tv after...right? just kiddin. i would have probably left it too... on the sand at least. >:)
comment bydjn1 at 09:22 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Roger: it is snow, at least it's a thin dusting of snow over the sand.
comment byROB at 09:22 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Such difference to yesterday! That sand looks like salt flats in the foreground. It still amazes me you found a tele on the beach.
comment byJem at 09:47 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
I certainly prefer the colour one - but I still think this is fantastic. It looks like it's sat on snow not a beach! :)
comment by Sean at 09:56 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Wow. If I hadn't seen the image yesterday, and understanding the UK's battle with the weather, I would imagine this was a semi-frozen TV on a frozen lake, or snow-covered field.
comment bymark at 10:25 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Very nice Dave :-) Yesterday's I prefer though, simply because I love what you do with colour.
comment byhappysam at 10:58 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
theres no vision like snowvision
comment by drdubosc at 11:28 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Prefer this one - IMO, 'realism' suits this subject.
comment byBudi at 11:34 PM (GMT) on 29 December, 2005
Back to 20D? And of course, I do like the 'bold' tone of B&W ;)
The sand looks like salt. I love this kind of dramatic BWs :D
comment bynuno f at 12:11 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Great b&w but the color version from yeaterday is much more appealing. I believe it's because of the tonal variations that the color photo have and that are not so visible in this monochromatic version. I see this one was taken with the 20D and not with the 1Ds from John. Now there's the proof that a good photographer can make fantastic shots no matter the model of the camera. : )
comment by Iron Flatline at 12:50 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
As the others said, it looks like frozen tundra, not beach.
comment byEOS Chaos at 01:15 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Both shots of this TV that you have posted are fantastic. I prefer the colour image because i just love the tones you have achieved there, but this image too has so much detail and shades it's really hard to pick one over the other. Excellent work as usual. I must ask how you post process your images, in particular the family shots you posted a few days ago, they are just lovely to look at. While i am here, may i wish you and your family, a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year - [Chuks]
comment byNikolai at 02:01 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
I think you need an antenna to be able to watch anything, no? Unless of course it's cable...
comment byGary at 02:55 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
both shots are fantastic, I prefer this one as it seems more forlorn(and maybe its just my monitor, but I seem to be seeing a few dust spots)
comment byBudi at 03:06 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
I see the little spot around the upper left corner. Is it a node from your lense, Dave?
comment byMichael Brown at 03:33 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
So uniquely different, and I really enjoy the overall depth you have shown!
comment byBabu at 06:51 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Wonderful gray tones, love the sidelight. But the shadows cast by the TV and the sand/snow are not exactly in the same direction, or is it my vision?
comment byWilliam Durham at 07:17 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Wow! Your work is truely inspiring. What a wonderful view you provide. Thanks much for sharing.
comment byNavin Harish at 07:20 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
This is quite similar to what John posted yesterday. I personally prefer the one you posted yesterday.
comment bypierre at 09:15 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Both shots are fantastic.
comment bydjn1 at 10:18 AM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Gary/Budi: the dust on the top-left of the image (which I've now removed) is probably on my sensor. Thanks for pointing it out.
Everyone else: more later. I spent ten hours fitting a laminate floor yesterday and my fingers are refusing to type at the moment ;-)
comment bytobias at 02:49 PM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
The things you find on that beach. I swear you just visit the tip and drop the odd thing off. This reminds me of a television commercial, there is something rather slick about the image. Great shadows.
Very cool. Love to see the same subject explored from different perspectives and approaches. Man, this little old TV sure seemed to move around (judging between your shots and those of John's)!
comment byMikesRightBrain at 05:29 PM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
I can't decide which version I like better, they are both wonderful. I think a funny picture would be one of you guys picking it up and moving it around! (I assume, of course, that you properly disposed of it after you were through taking pictures of it) ; - )
comment byPhilB at 08:06 PM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Another stunning, if very different shot to yesterdays. Both appealing in different ways. Any thoughts on a Best of 2005 entry for Photo Friday this week? ;-)
comment bydjn1 at 09:33 PM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
Thanks everyone.
PhilB: I'm not sure.
comment by Max at 09:49 PM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
It amazes me, seeing your photos, how much crap washes up on the beaches near you! TV's, old tires, brooms...what have I forgotten? Are there any abandoned cars? Frying pans? Vacuum cleaners?
comment byMarie R at 11:16 PM (GMT) on 30 December, 2005
A chance landing on your site, while surfing earlier today, and a landing on the "color version" of this photo.
In french chance and luck are pretty much the same word.
Chances are yours is an URL I'm gonna be sharing with fellow photographers.
Chances are we'll enjoy coming here over and over again.
Today I'll just say: "thank you for the lesson in photography". But also: "thank you for sharing beauty, to such an extent, with us".
comment bysirin at 06:14 AM (GMT) on 31 December, 2005
funny. and with your title .. even funnier. ;)

Gotta love those abandoned tvs. I really like how it's all encrusted with gunk.
