Strobist Info: One SB-800, in hand. I walked around and behind the tree, popping the strobe towards the back of the blossoms, I think it was set to either 1/8th or 1/4th power. I then full dumped the flash on that little bench towards the center of the shot, with the flash zoomed out full to spotlight it, since I don't have a snoot.
White balance was probably set to cloudy (even though in raw, none of that matters), and flash was bare since it would be blue enough.
I wanted to color the shot backwards of how I would have done it usually, which would be of course CTO on the flash, with tungsten white balance on cam.
I really wish someone was sitting on that bench. This actually took a long time to take, because every time I would get ready to shoot, herds of tourists in long lines behind me would need to pass through. I had to move out of the way and recompose four times before I had no body walking through :)
Tidal gates allow brookcourse to flow normally towards estuary but close during incoming tide to control levels upstream.
Weston-super-Mare is a seaside resort town and civil parish in North Somerset, part of the ceremonial county of Somerset, England. It is located on the Bristol Channel coast, 18 miles (29 km) south west of Bristol, spanning the coast between the bounding high ground of Worlebury Hill and Bleadon Hill. It includes the suburbs of Oldmixon, West Wick and Worle. Its population according to the 2001 census was 71,758. It is twinned with Hildesheim, Germany.
A local holiday today has given me the time to get rid of my back log of unprocessed shots. This is from my Eigg trip in april during a benign dawn when cold steely light dominated everything. Was first attracted to the wonderfully contrasty ripples in the sand and simply waited until the waves started reaching me before making this.

2nd March 1996
It's been a while since I got back home with a shot that I was completely happy. I had a great afternoon at Woolacombe on Sunday. It was overcast and raining when I arrived there but right around sunset, clouds broke apart revealing the beautiful light.
I have wanted to photograph a beach like Woolacombe during low tide for a while now and I am very happy with the results I got.

The Yellow Sea, shared by South Korea, China and the DPRK, has an estimated 2 million ha of remaining tidal-flat, and is one of less than 10 regions globally that have “megatidal environments”. As such the Yellow Sea is a globally very rare type of ecosystem, and it forms the core staging area for an estimated 2 million migratory shorebirds in spring and a further 1 million in autumn. This represents no less than 40% of the total number of (long-range) migratory shorebirds supported by the whole East Asian-Australasian Flyway , a wide and long migration corridor stretching from southern New Zealand, through Australia, up through countries of south-east and eastern Asia, through the Yellow Sea, on through eastern Russia as far northeast as the north slope of Alaska.

... then crashes down, with apparently two tonnes of water. We went on this three times in a row and got utterly soaked, but it was hysterical. You crash in the water and it explodes everywhere, so for a brisk second you feel safe, then it crashes down on you and leaves you soaking and cold!
We spent a week at Easter in Cornwall. The sea on the north coast is usually very rough - ideal for surfers. This tidal pool provides a quiet place for a swim. It's a man-made pool that has been there for decades. In the summer there are bathers in the water but in April the water was still and clear.
The opening you see in the left midground is the path the water would wash in and out to run the tidal mill. Each time the tide turns, a supply of water passes through, supplying power to grind grain and other milling tasks. The blocks here may be from the original mill, put up by Abraham Blish in the mid to late 1600's. More of the foundation is visible at the right.

Tidal Quad Modular Filter
Only 15-20 are build
The Tidal Quad is a 4-channel filterbank with extensive control and modulation possibilities. The filter can be used in High-/ Low-/ or Bandpass with an Envelope follower for each mode. There is also an LFO for each set of 2 Channels which allows complex modulations. Additionally it offers a Waveshaper for each channel. For friends of analog distortion this unit leaves no wish open.
* 4x HP/BP/LP - Filtermodule
* LFO Channel 1+2 (Cutoff)
* LFO Channel 3+4 (Cutoff)
* LFO each channel positive or negative switch
* 1 Waveshaper per Channel
* 4x Sidechain Input with Envelope Follower for Cutoff-Modulation
The resonant filter might be the most important effect in popular music these days. However if you want to insert a filter on multiple channels of your mixer and also would like to have a lot of knobs and modulation possibilities, there was no real solution. That's why Tidal Music Electronics announces it's four channel desktop multimode filter. You can switch the four individual resonant filters between Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass modus. Each filter can be modulated by an envelope follower, a LFO and an external CV. The envelope follower is specially designed to track percussive sounds without false triggering, a key feature when used with drumcomputers, grooveboxes or guitar.
Maximum Modulation:
Each filterbank has 4 VCFs, 4 Waveshapers, 4 Envelopefollowers and 2 Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs). The filters are switchable between 3 modes, Lowpass, Bandpass and Highpass. The Low- and Bandpass are 24 dB and the Highpass is 12 dB/Oct. The cutoff of each channel can be modulated by it's own Envelope follower which can be fed by a sidechain input or by the audiosignal itself. This option gives you the possibilities to create very funky filter-effects. Each LFO modulates 2 channels and every channel has it's own depth controller which can be set positive or negative. This can be used to generate cool stereo effects.
The Waveshaper
The waveshaper is one of the components which give the filterbank it's unique sound. It actually is a wavefolder which "folds" the tops of the waveform back instead of clipping. This sounds a bit like an overdrive but also has some characteristics of Frequency Modulation.
To give you a better idea what the waveshaper actually does we'll illustrate what happens with a simple sine wave using different ratio settings for each of the two shaper modes.
The Carquinez Strait is a narrow tidal strait in northern California. It is part of the tidal estuary of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin rivers as they drain into the San Francisco Bay. The strait connects Suisun Bay, which receives the waters of the combined rivers, with San Pablo Bay, a northern extension of the San Francisco Bay.
The strait is named after the Karkin ("los Carquines" in Spanish), a linguistic division of the Ohlone Native Americans who resided on both sides of the strait.
The strait forms part of the border between Solano (to the north) and Contra Costa (to the south) counties, and is approximately 15 mi (25 km) north of Oakland. The cities of Benicia and Vallejo lie on the north side of the strait, while Martinez, Port Costa, and Crockett sit on the southern coast. The Napa River joins the strait, via the short Mare Island Strait, near its entrance into San Pablo Bay.
The strait is crossed by two highway bridges, the Carquinez Bridge on Interstate 80 and the Benicia-Martinez Bridge on Interstate 680. Each highway bridge consists of two spans.
Interstate 780 connects the two highways on the northern slope of the strait. State Route 4 connects these highways south of and inland from the strait.
The Union Pacific Railroad bridge just east of the Benicia-Martinez southbound bridge is used by the Capitol Corridor, California Zephyr, and Coast Starlight trains. A rail ferry, with the ferries Contra Costa and Solano which were the largest built at the time, provided service across the strait near the location of the current rail bridge until the rail bridge was built in 1930.
Tall pylons carry power lines cross the strait as well. The Carquinez Strait Powerline Crossing was the world's first powerline crossing of a large river.

I got back from Africa I don't know how many days ago..I've lost track of time. But it was incredible and I'm drowning in my longing to go back. The people there were so incredibly beautiful..I couldn't get enough of the kindness & humbleness they displayed. the children refused to let go of my hands..there's a dream forming in my heart of starting an orphanage at some point in my life..if I could just drop everything and go back now, I probably would. my heart breaks for those who don't know Him. It breaks..
