Another Sandwich Bay mono image

Just finished working on this one - really like how it's turned out in mono, the contrast in the sky and grasses, and that band of sea and beach (with tiny tiny walkers in the distance) works well to my eye.

Sandwich Bay (Kent) mono

Taken this weekend, as we visited friends in Kent. I loved the seascapes in Kent, and miss the sea terribly now we are landlocked in Cambridge.

On this occaision, it was a bright, cold, clear day, with lots of great skies, good light, wet sand and wide open spaces. Hardly a soul on the beach, except us.



This one appealed to me because the sand was wet, picking up the reflections of the sky, which looked huge through the wide angle lens.

Mono seems to work better than colour in this case, since it gives emphasis to the tones rather than it all looking blue.

Possible Portfolio submission

This is my selection for a possible CCC competition portfolio submission. 5 images, in a defined order, on an easily identifiable subject. This one is Deal, in Kent. Not sure if it'll be a print or projected submission, but your thoughts on the images and order is appreciated.

More views of Reculver

These are a couple of pictures taken down on the beach at Reculver in Kent. More detailed information regarding this interesting coastal site can be found here.

Taken on different days, from different sides of the Roman Church ruins, I always love this place; there's the great focal point of the ruins, the beach has loads of great rocks for interest, and the cliffs sweep towards the ruin, bringing in the eye. It's great - but alas I can't access it quite the same from Cambridge...

Anyway, thoughts welcome as usual.
