Photography for me is all about visual story telling, and the beach is a great place to find stories. This image is part of my series "Life's a Beach".
I never have expectations when I head fro the beach, but I always go in the knowledge that things can change very quickly. Cloud systems can fill an empty blue sky within a few minutes, so the fun is in the unexpected. For once this shot ignores the reflections, and gives the shimmering drying sand a chance.

A trip to Plumford Wildflower Meadows revealed a sea of colour as far as the eye could see with the Pyramidal Orchids put on their annual show. An exceptional season with thousands upon thousands of all shapes, forms and hues ranging from Var Alba, white with a hint of pink, light salmon through to mauves and crimson, one of natures true delights.......

or Read their wonderful review here:
"So this was it finally, the first part of the Hedy Patrucci’s Burlesque Show, long awaited and blanketed like the final training before a cup final. Hedy had invited her premiere guests to the Lyrics Ballroom, and the place was totally draped in matching decorations. After the big success she gained last year with her 2019 show, expectations were high for her this year’s show. And Hedy and her team delivered! – The costumes were glamorous, the dance acts fabulous and the different sets where creative and well chosen.
It was an extremely captivating show and best entertainment in SL. Though SL had its hick ups this evening for many, it couldn’t really harm the shining success of the evening. The enthusiastic applause at the end of the show was very well deserved.
Congratulations to Hedy and her team!"

This is the final performance SUNDAY 13 SEPTEMBER @ 12PM SLT, full production of professional dancers in Second Life with Hedy Patrucci singing live from The Netherlands
Hedy's performance at the opening night was nothing more than sensational!
She was truly sizzling on stage - and is truly an entertainer in every sense of the word.
Those that attended loved it and she had the audience captivated and dying of laughter with her seductive version of Dr Long John -
All the ladies are booked to see Dr Long John after hearing Hedy sing this song in her unique and brilliant way!
Every song she sang was a masterpiece - combine that with her humor - her tease - really this last performance of Burlesque should not be missed!
Last but not least, the Burlesque Dancers were absolutely sensational and our choreographer Faith Fromund is fantastic!
So blessed and proud to have these incredibly talented and professional artists in my life! Thank you each and everyone of you
A Special mention to Chandra @ !dM DeviousMind - the headdress and feathers come from this store, the creator Chandra is just wonderful and played a huge role in the wardrobe with her stunning costumes.
Lucky door prizes to be won!
Dress it up in Burlesque or wear cocktail or formal.
I have created a "memento gift box" of this special event.
They can be found on the tables in front of the bar, also dining tables are located along the runway for front row view - you will find the gift on these tables, also on the posters either side of the stage.
Come along, bring your friends to the best event in Second Life!
There are other shots from the same session on my blog.

This candid shot was literally "shot from the hip" - I was holding my camera at waist-level with one hand as I walked past this lad. He saw the camera and his eyes just lit up. Could be sharper, but I'm happy considering the chance circumstances.

Dieses Bild wurde wirklich "aus der Hüfte" geschossen - ich hielt die Kamera mit nur einer Hand in Hüfthöhe als ich an diesen Jungen vorbei lief. Er sah die Kamera, und seine Augen leuchteten auf. Könnte etwas schärfer sein, ich bin aber mit dem Ergebnis zufrieden, wenn man an die Aufnahmebedingungen denkt.
There is something to be said about the intrinsic link between failure and expectation. It seems to me that a key component of failure is expectation. Try to imagine failure without expectation? It's tricky. Because in order to fail, you have to have somehow defined what failure is. And we do this with expectation in hand all the time, be it consciously or otherwise. This image is an example of just that. I set it up, had a shot in mind, calculated my exposure, sat on the tracks counting that exposure off mentally, got up closed the shutter and wound the film. All with an expectation of something. Part of that something was a vague notion of how I wanted the image to look. Another part of that something was the expectation that I calculated the technical aspects of the image correctly - focus, exposure, etc. Yet another part of that something was the expectation that the film would be processed correctly. And so on. You get the idea of how something like this is built off a chain of expectations, even when we don't necessarily think of those expectations. Then, when something doesn't go as expected, for example I somehow blew the exposure and overexposed the frame by several stops thereby producing a more faded, washed out image with a bit of a color cast. Well, that goes against my expectation of how I thought this would turn out. My initial reaction was, "Well, blew that one" and mentally began the process of writing this image off. It was just one photo after all and I make a lot of photos. Also, I am no stranger to "blowing it". I often tell people I could bury them with the boxes of throwaway sample prints from "failed" images that I have accumulated over the years. But then again, as I implied above, what is failure really, other than unmet expectations? And if that is really a key to failure, can failure not be converted to something else merely by either tweaking those expectations or simply by not handcuffing yourself to them. It is fine to have expectations, it is also fine to set them aside. After a day, and a second visit to this negative, I gave my initial expectations of this photo a rest and what was left behind was something that was neither expected nor failed. I don't know what it is, nor do I really need to. It is another image in my collection that has something that intrigues me, that has given me something to consider and think about. I used to remark to students that if a every photo you make teaches you something, are there really bad photos?
Anyway, just some thoughts inspired by my misexposure in the making of this particular image. And no, I still don't quite know how I goofed this one up. But I am ok with that too. If I knew, I might want to do it again and that wouldn't be nearly as fun as when it happens incidentally.
