A beached yacht

Dave — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 15:27:16 +0000

A yacht rests beached on the sands at Instow. The sun was low providing nice long shadows and golden colour as the evening drew to a close. I went out to take photos yesterday for the first time in a few weeks, about 7 miles away from the house the heavens opened! I waited for a bit between showers and then the rain came back yet again with a vengeance so I called it a day having shot all of 6 images, hopefully one of them will be blog worthy in the coming days.

Boats at Instow

In this photo of Instow its odd how a bit of seaweed can change the look of a beach. When you are used to seeing undisturbed sand as far as the water retreats, the vibrant greens across the sand seem even more in your face.

Kite flying Instow

A man flies a kite on Instow beach. When there was a half decent gust of wind it would lift him off the ground. I would have liked to get closer with a wider lens to get a better perspective.

Flowers

This is some flowers I saw at Exeter University on the photo walk. They looked very pretty in the sun.

Beach Huts

Another Beach, another cloudy Day….. I learned a valuable lesson with this image as I painfully saved the resized for the blog image over the full size psd file only realising as I clicked yes to overwrite file. Do you ever have days where you feel you should just put the mouse down and step back? The beach in this photo is Woolacombe.

A boat on a cloudy day Instow

Dave — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 22:41:00 +0000

I haven’t had much time for the camera lately, I’ve been working hard and had ongoing broadband faults so the blog has suffered too. Hopefully I can resume fully soon! This photo is from a cloudy day at Instow beach. I sometimes feel I lust a perfect blue sky with fluffy clouds too much.

Daniel

Dave — Fri, 04 Jun 2010 19:25:25 +0000

This is Daniel being tight lipped. I like the expression in this photo, it’s like he is pondering something. This photo was an exercise in processing for me I’m trying to work on my people photos more. I find the processing quite difficult in some ways as it is out of my comfort work flow and of course perfecting taking the actual photo. It makes me appreciate other people’s portrait photos even more I think, such as photos by Cecilie Harris, Cynthia Graham, David Nightingale, and Wak-Design (not sure of his real name.)

Rain

Dave — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 13:34:36 +0000

This photo appears to be a river but believe it or not, this is the path outside my house! I took this photo last year when the rain was actually torrential, there was a good inch plus of water running past our front door. I took quite a few shots but most of them were a good representation of chaos. This one I liked because I managed to capture one significant rain drop splashing. The composition was very lucky only needing a slight crop to position the drop to the left a little. I processed this photo today as Coolphotoblogs.com are now doing a weekly theme to submit to and as you can guess, this week’s theme is “rain”.
