Wow! Great fun!

I captured these really cool patterns in the sand just as the tide was coming in on the Chesapeake Bay. This one hangs in several rooms of the Hotel at Arundel Preserve in Hanover, Md.

Sie bietet sich halt so super an zum Fotografieren.

One more time the beach bar 54Grad Nord in Sankt Peter-Ording.

It is simply a perfect object to be photographed.

“Carew Tidal Mill, also called the French Mill, is a corn mill in Pembrokeshire, Wales, powered by tidal water. It was built around 1801 just west of Carew Castle, and replaced a much older mill in the same location. The mill pond fills through open flood gates as the tide comes in . "

The draining water leaves interesting traces in the wet sand.

Thank you very much for your visits, comments and faves. I really appreciated them

My first work with my Wacom tablet. Still getting the hang of it. :)

Here’s a Vertorama that I captured at the Camps Bay tidal pool on Sunday afternoon… about half an hour before sunset.

Although the sky was completely overcast with rain the whole day on Sunday… I was really hoping that the clouds would clear up a bit by sunset… just enough to allow some sweet light through. As luck would have it… that’s exactly what happened!!

So there I was at the tidal pool… admiring the amazing cloud reflections in the calm water… and looking around for the most interesting compositions. I really liked the way that the rocks on the right of this composition all seemed to be pointing towards the sun… and how the heavy right-hand side of the composition was balanced out by the bright sun in the upper left-hand corner. All I needed was for someone to walk along the rim of the tidal pool… not only would that improve the composition… but it would also add a human element to the photo (which is something that I’ve been consciously trying to do). I looked around me to see if there was anyone whom I could kindly ask to walk around the tidal pool for me… but as I turned around… I noticed this smartly-dressed guy was already walking along the wall… without me even asking! I waited till he was in my frame and directly below the sun… and snap… got him!! :)

Another from my break down in Pembrokeshire last week. This shot was captured on the shoreline at Little Haven.

The tide was quite benign, but a few nice swells would come in from time-to-time, being in the right place when they did was a little more challenging though. They almost felt like they were doing their utmost to look better elsewhere. Patience and belief that they would come good where I needed them was paramount.
