Hey all,

Haven't posted a while but found it difficult to make the time with my new (first) job. Recently had some days off so it was off to the beach. Here are some assorted sea and beachscapes. Hope you like them,

take care!

    Great photos! I especially like the last two. What a pano! thumb.gif Vast sandy beaches are a joy to shoot - I wish we had some here where I live. ne_nau.gif

    A really pleasing series, Chris! I really like it when a person is appropriately placed in a landscape shot, as in #2. Well done! thumb.gif
    Shoot in RAW because memory is cheap but memories are priceless.

    thanks!
    thanks for taking the time to comment ana and thapamd!

    Its not everydat you have this nice weather in The Netherlands where i live so it was a joy to shoot at the beach!

    im trying to better at photography but im seriously hindered by the time available.. eek7.gif there is always a gap of weeks in between shoots, and i feel like i have to reinvent everything haha.

    Anyone any ideas on how to make these shots go more "wow" next time? (without moving them to the WP, since im not sure this would qualify as my best work yet..)

    You have a good eye for composition, Chris. Now you have to wait for the right light: golden hours, dawn, dusk. Good luck! thumb.gif

    Man, that's just how it is with me!! I have to get out all the manuals again!! :D

    A request -it's always good to know the equipment used for a photo.

    #3 must have sailed over the horizon?

    Good use of the WA! thumb.gif I like #1 a lot!

    My favorite of them all is #7, it's the time when light is like thin tissue, its most insubstantial. You have that in this pic. I think light is so wonderful I like to see people exploring all its personalities, not just the most photogenic.

    beautiful set of photos. Evening swim and panorama are my favorite.
