The sepia tone in this pic is courtesy of being taken near sunset with sea spray and wind blown beach sand! No sepia tone added!
The Sun finally breaks through the rain clouds to illuminate the hills surrounding Whiskey Bay.
Whiskey Bay, Victoria.
The sun goes down almost behind the waves (at Rye) in summer. Which can be nice when the backlit waves go translucent; but is such a challenge for the lens and all the tiny bits of Seaspray on the front of the filter (yes I used a filter to protect the front element)... do there bit to hurt the contrast. Still half like it.
Shot in Aruba. The light was heavenly and the water ferocious.

I didn't realise it at the time, but this (March 2017) is one of my favourite late afternoons at the Apostles so far.
At the moment I took this it felt like the very air was glowing as the sun lit up the fog in the air and everything was blindingly hazy.
I thought "nothing to lose. Let's try and capture the feeling". Pointed the camera at it and tried a few different compositions.
Taken me months to review the pics... and probably a few more (months). But I like them.
An image from a series of captures from Porth Nanven (Cot Valley) showing the sea breaking over the dinosaur eggs on the beach. In the background, the twin peaks of the Brison rocks sit on the horizon.
As the sun approached the Brison rocks any hope of a hero sunset image began to fade. The clouds hiding the sun, started to change shape and blow wispy trails across the sky. The 3stop medium grad filter showed the clouds in their true glory.

Wish you all a happy and prosperous year of 2019. It started off windy but will for sure get better!
A very enjoyable morning, which I spent at Roker and Seaburn when I visited my hometown of Sunderland.
The thing about Cornwall is that it often looks at its best on dramatic winter days when the Atlantic swell hits the coastline with a ferocity that you never quite get used to, no matter how often you've seen it. I've been fortunate to live here for almost all of my life and throughout the dark months of winter there have always been a sequence of regular howling storms that race across the landscape from the west. Often it's better to just stay indoors, but if you're brave enough to head outside to the coast the chances are you'll see some arresting sea conditions. You just need to be careful not to get too close as it might be the last thing you ever see,
This image taken at Porth Nanven captures some of that endless energy that the ocean throws at the far west of the county in those wild spaces close to Land's End. Tell me though; when you first looked at it with its blue and grey tones, I bet you guessed it was taken in the middle winter didn't you? I would have done. In fact we were taking a short staycation in the middle of summer. Each year Ali's sister disappears with her caravan to St Just Rugby Club for a fortnight, when after the end of the season they convert the pitch into a camping field. It seems a good way for a village sports club to boost the coffers and it takes us to within walking distance of some of my favourite places, so we grabbed the opportunity to go and "caravan sit" when she suddenly had to return home for a couple of days.
Our first evening coincided with the arrival of the slightly less familiar summer storm and so we headed down to Porth Nanven as the light began to fade to watch the rollers crashing in. I'd hoped a bit of late sunshine might burst through the shroud on the horizon, but it soon became evident that it wasn't going to happen. It didn't really seem to matter as the muted palette in front of us still had much to hold the attention. At times like this it's easy to end up with hundreds of images to pore over as you look for the ones the capture that energy in the waves. But the worsening conditions meant we were only here for twenty minutes so I only had forty raw files to make my selection from.
My thirst for excitement temporarily sated we drove back up the hill to the caravan where I sat nursing a beer in the ever shifting awning wondering whether the wind would carry us off and where we might land if it did. Throughout the night it sounded as if the very heavens might collapse around us as the storm built to a crescendo that was almost deafening from beneath the two inches of plastic that were protecting us. Fortunately we woke up the following morning in the same location where we might or might not have stolen some brief moments of sleep. The storm had passed and although it was still quite breezy, the sky was blue. Amazingly, everything was exactly where it had been the previous evening. We'd survived.
This is the first photo I've shared from that little adventure down to the wild and beautiful western edge of eternity. The following day we took a long walk which produced another batch of pictures that still haven't even made it into Lightroom yet. At some point I might eventually get around to sharing some of them. There aren't many new photos to add right now, so perhaps it's about time for another dig through the archive. It should keep me going until we're out of Lockdown 3 at any rate.
Hopefully you're all rifling through those shots you've overlooked and dusting them off. You never know what you might find!

A week away in Devon. The winds were already gusting powerfully when I took this shot blowing sea spray over me at every opportunity. This was the last we saw of the sun for two days, during which time we had thunder, lightning and hail. So I didn’t get out as much as I’d wished for photos and the shots I’d got had a ton of spray all over them - but it was all fun!! 😊
Reached the "Twelve" and the air was thick with sea-spray. Well it was more like fog.
And the sun, to look at this scene, was blinding. I thought "well there's atmosphere here if nothing else, and nothing to lose by taking a few". So I guessed a couple of settings, pointed the camera right at the blinding light, and fired away.
It's taken me ages to revisit the pics. But, actually, I really like them. And happy not to have rushed for the graduated filters as I find them fiddly and frustrating to fiddle with and not worth rushing for. Obviously there are situations where they help make an image. Just not here because it was bright in the eyes, just like this.

I had promised myself a quiet night in for a change but decided last minute to make an effort and at least pop down to our local beach just 5 minutes away. I'm glad I did!
Status
Resident along rocky coasts in the north and north-west of Ireland.
Identification
Large and heavy-built, with short neck, large head, long wedge-shaped bill. Birds seen in irregular - loose clusters. Males largely white with black belly, sides and stern. Head white with black crown, and pale green on sides of the nape.
Voice
Male with cooing display-call, and a far carrying 'a-ooh-e'.
Diet
They generally feed by diving in waters up to 20 m depth, feeding predominantly on mussels, other molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms.
Breeding
Eider nest colonially on offshore islets, along low-lying coast, usually where the threat of mammalian predation is minimal. Eider seldom occur far from the sea throughout the year. They breed around the coast of Scotland and northern England and along the north and northwest coasts of Ireland. Up to 100 pairs have been estimated in Ireland.
Wintering
Occurs on shallow, inshore coastal waters, near estuary mouths mostly along the northwest and northeast coastlines.
I love the emerald green colors often seen in waves. And if you look closely in this photo, you can see the spray sparkling in the morning light. Almost like a precious jewel.
Early morning at Snapper Rocks with howling wind, rain and seaspray on the lens as the heavens are briefly unmasked.

Innes National Park, SA
Shot taken from the beach at the base of Cape Spencer lighthouse at sunset. It's a long descent along some dodgy surface to the base of this beach but being down there was definitely worth it. The cliffs are high enough to be spectacular but also not unscalable making Innes a unique place for hiking. 3 shot HDR processed in photomatix blended with the -2EV for sky and shadows. As the sands appear, its true appearance can't really be matched on a photo. (resting up tonight - will do a catchup of your pics tomorrow!)
View On Black for seaspray on the lens!

I recently found out that this image came 2nd in photo of the year on www.ausphotography.net.au forums !
Heron‘s Head Park, San Francisco, California
Been another long while, but this is by far my favorite pic in that period. My second time seeing this three-year resident of SF (he’s honestly kinda tough to get to) coincided with some abnormally high tides thanks to the mini-tsunami conditions that day, meaning the water was splashing up almost to the footpath. Perfect though to get this guy close, plus the resulting spray seen in this photo
Explored on 2/1/2022!!!!!
The very strange rock formations on the Keil Prninsula, part of the Tayvallich Volcanics series of rocks spread throughout the area - these look more like archaeology than geology, reminiscent of the monolithic avenues in France. A beautiful place, unless, of course, you happen to be caught there in November with high wind, horizontal rain and seaspray and with no shelter - at which time you begin to wonder why you chose landscape photography as a hobby.
Hello Flickr friends & followers! My first post since moving house in the New Year.. Hopefully back to normal now :)
Although I've been able to get out with the camera to explore my new surroundings, I have had little time to spend in the office with post processing!
I chose this because although I'd been to this classic N. Cornwall location many times, not only were the weather gods outright mean with the bland conditions they dealt; anyone who's been here knows it can get a tad busy so even if you mark your spot with your tripod you inevitably have people exploring the rocky shore in front of you!
The other week we had some harsh storms, flash floods and wind so i headed to the coast fingers crossed that the storm coinciding with the high tide at sunset would put off most of the tourists as the beach is inaccessible at high tide plus the weather would only be of interest to storm chasing togs.
This is one of the better images. Many were ruined by the gusts of onshore spray, rain splotches or camera shake - it was hard to stand still given the conditions! This was a shot in a gap between the rain, but you can see an approaching squall in the far right of the image..
Thank you for viewing. Best wishes to all :-)
