Taken on Seaford Beach-East Sussex, as are most of mine recently. Endless photo oportunities here if you know where to look and get the conditions right.

Really was not sure about showing my photo’s in general on this Blog, part of the reason why I have a Pro account with Flickr.

But love Flickr, it still is quite limited on viewing the images in a more classy environment. I prefer dark background to my photo’s so hence why I have my [...]

The idea is to make your photos work for you and your Blog every time someone views your photos. There is a bit of a gap between how Flickr and your Blogs talk, yes you can link them up to post updates, blog photos from Flickr etc, but it’s still quite disparate.

Taken during the storms earlier in March down at my beach in Seaford, East Sussex. It was certainly a grim day, but it all makes it worthwhile when you have clouds, rough sea and a glimpse of the sun shining through the clouds and reflecting of the water. IT takes just the right ingredients to turn an average shot into something more dramatic. Nothing much else to say about this one really other than some Photoshop work that I ended up doing.

It’s clearly not natural but frankly I don’t give a damn.

Nothing special behind the shot other than I was visiting a very remote part of Egypt called Siwa Oasis, close to the Black and White desert. At this time I was on top of a high ridge taking in some ruins. As I peeked over the edge of one of the ruins walls, I saw this lone donkey and cart making it’s away across the Oasis.

Rather than sinking below the surface, you would find yourself almost just floating on your back with the majority of your body on top of the water rather than underneath.

Just goes to show that it’t not always easy to get perfectly sharp focus when you are doing candid shots. It doesn’t help that my lens, on this occasion was a huge 400mm with F5.6. So the light was gloomy anyway, and the shot was taken at maximum zoom, so a combination of poor light, not so good quality lens and no tripod ended up in some average shots.

My half dog, the other rescue Lurcher called Fermoy.

I was astounded at how vivid the colours became, and was lucky to grab a ‘red sky in the morning’, which proved to be more lilac and pink than red.
