Makara Beach Compilation
From a recent trip out with new found Kiwi photography friends to my first West coast beach in New Zealand. We arrived and trecked round the headland to arrive in time to see the sun drop over the hills of the distant South Island. And so it proved to be that once the sun disappeared, then the real work started.
This is another image along the lines of the shot I took at Balmedie Beach last year. As I stated at the time, my fascination with the sea and these alternative looks at the private lives of the ocean is one of the things that has always driven me and made me appreciate every visit I make to a beach somewhere.
Recent comments on this image elsewhere stated it was a novel alternative take on landscape photography, that it shows my darker side coming out, or that I was just miserable and gloomy. I don't know if any or all of these are true. What I do know is that I hope to continue experimenting with these 'triptych' images (I still don't like using that word 'triptych' I'm sure it makes me sound as though I'm trying to be more 'arty' than I really am) and to see if I can see this world of ours, and the source of some of my inner peace through different eyes.
Hopefully you'll like both this and what's to come.
