i'm going to the beach today.
the day will be filled with flowing maxi dresses
sand
sun
surf
shells
summer
just a nice day really
edit: and photos :)
This is a shot of a Shell gas pump i took right outside of a gift shop in Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, TN. I took the image with my Canon 70d and edited the photo using Lightroom 5.
Was hunting through my archives for something different & found these manipulations.....the arty side in me!
The photo was taken with my 9500 in 2007. I started off with an Orb and changed to an oblong, thought it had a greater effect of patterns & detail.
This is the first in my new series of images from the German North Sea island Sylt. When I was there last summer, I was constantly taking photos, even when I was relaxing on the beach.
I am still in holiday mode, so I don't comment as much as I usually do. Please bear with me. Things will go back to normal next week.
Enjoy!

I love the colours of these mussel shells - if they weren't occupied I would have liked to re-home them to my place.

P1040956-B.JPG
There was some something about this that caught my eye. Perhaps a visual representation of never truly being stuck and having the strength to crack through our constraints.
When I see a bunch of shells on the beach, I want to hoard them like a pirate. At some point in history, these were money.
This photo is reprocessed from an earlier version here. (justenoughfocus.smugmug.com/Portfolio/Full/i-MVVZNj3) The tools for post-processing are continually being updated, so lately I've been having a little fun going back to old photos to tease out a new look. I don't recall what tools I used back in 2015, but this time, I used the latest version of Skylum's Luminar.
Nevertheless, what got my attention in this scene is all of the shells in the foreground; they must have been deposited after a storm. You can go to a store and buy a bag of shells for ten bucks, or you could just go to the beach and pick them up yourself. Better yet, send me the money, and I'll get them for you! (just kidding)

The left shell is fresh and I brought it home from a Japanese meal in Kyoto. It is called Abalone or Awabi (Japanese) and is pearl inside with a row of (at least 9) perforations. It is rather light in weight. The right shell is pertrified and very old, I found it at a beach in France. I have no idea what exactly it is, but it could be an oyster type of shell. It is the perfect intermediate between a shell and a stone and rather heavy. The photo gives a reliable impression of the two very different textures of these shells.
For Macro Monday theme "Negative space" (April 14th 2014)
A snail shell found in the garden - just 1 inch across. I use negative space a lot, though I don't like to over-think it. One rough guide I use is to imagine the subject (including the reflection in this shot) has been cut out of the picture. Would the shapes left behind be interesting? For this exercise I had to try and hide the signature too, as it takes away from the negative space ;o)
