Surfer On A Turquoise Sea

     What an ominous picture, here's a surfer on what looks like an angry broiling sea, i like the turquoise sea in the foreground, it looks like some sort of marble with the white foam, and that dark black cloud hanging in the air above, below the surfer are some very nice reflections, gives the impression of stillness, as things are frozen in time, and above the surfer, some spray is caught in a lovely freeze frame moment, the dark blue in the left hand corner nicely complements the turquoise in the sea, a breathtaking shot.

Footprints In The Sand

     What a lovely shot, a beautiful silhouette, some 'laws' of photography seem to be broken here, one is to never have the subject directly in the centre of the frame, and here the parent / child are in the centre, as well as the strong reflected sunlight is in the centre too, however it still works a treat, there's a lovely shadow / reflection of the people, and footprints in the dry sand, but washed away in the wet, and you can see the line between the dry and wet, there's a luminous glow about the cool wet sand, you can almost smell the sea.

A Cornwall Sunset

     I like the lines in this shot, the sea carves out some wonderful patterns, there's almost a square brickwork of seams being exposed by the sea, with a fairly long shutter speed, the incoming tide becomes a misty blur, but with a tripod the rocks remain a pin sharp mass, there must be a purple-ish coloured filter used in this shot, i like the way most of the shot is below the skyline, the sun is small, and yet not insignificant, there's a golden glow on the sea on the right, those rocks look bleak, but the ones in the middle foreground glisten in a lovely way, an inspiring shot, and to top it off it's in my own country, down in good old Cornwall, the most inspiring holiday County in England.

Dappling Sunlight

     Here's more of an abstract photo, and yet teeming with interest, it may at first seem a monochrome of blue and white, yet in reality it's a kaleidoscope of colours!, and shapes too, what gives it it's distinctiveness is the glaring sunlight top right, there's slight sunbursts in the lower sunlights, giving it an incandescence which is nicely overwhelming, the lines get more wavy and larger at the bottom, it's almost like you want to splash into them, and more darker / coloured at the top, it's like looking at clouds, you invent things up in them, the photo seems really 'wet'.
