I went out back to Climping beach on Monday, the only chance this week to get out with the camera, a clear bright day but you make the most of it.
I wanted to shoot this beach at high tide to see the difference from the full low tide of the previous week plus I wanted water around the groynes and rocks.
To say I found photography challenging that day would be an understatement, I have to wear glasses with UV protection, so you can imagine they were dark, the sun was bright and some conditions like my foreground here of white chalk made exposure a challenge, I would normally rely pretty much on the flip out LCD screen but today I had to use the viewfinder a whole lot more as the screen I just could not see, the histogram was my best friend and the amazing autofocus of the R5 did an amazing job for me.
We were able to park in what was left of a small lane rather than the 6K walk there and back from Littlehampton, the tide was high with quite large waves coming in.
With the tide being so high and waves braking on the beach we were able to see the effect of the waves and how the beach is being eroded first hand, each wave would pull away some material from the bank which would collapse forward into the water, imagine this being repeated with each wave and tide and you get the picture.
I took many shots that day, this one as the tide was dropping out, the receding water revealed chalk and other coloured rocks and one of the old groynes.
It was sadly a blue sky day so not the best, but, it`s what you have on the day and make the best of it..
All colours are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites.
Marc Chagall.
Marc Zakharovich Chagall (6 July 1887 – 28 March 1985) was a Russian-French artist of Belarusian Jewish origin. An early modernist, he was associated with several major artistic styles and created works in virtually every artistic format, including painting, book illustrations, stained glass, stage sets, ceramic, tapestries and fine art prints.
Art critic Robert Hughes referred to Chagall as "the quintessential Jewish artist of the twentieth century" (though Chagall saw his work as "not the dream of one people but of all humanity"). According to art historian Michael J. Lewis, Chagall was considered to be "the last survivor of the first generation of European modernists". For decades, he "had also been respected as the world's preeminent Jewish artist". Using the medium of stained glass, he produced windows for the cathedrals of Reims and Metz, windows for the UN, and the Jerusalem Windows in Israel. He also did large-scale paintings, including part of the ceiling of the Paris Opéra.
Before World War I, he travelled between Saint Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. During this period he created his own mixture and style of modern art based on his idea of Eastern European Jewish folk culture. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the country's most distinguished artists and a member of the modernist avant-garde, founding the Vitebsk Arts College before leaving again for Paris in 1922.
