I need to get out!

Unfortunately I have bee working indoors most of this week. The yearning to visit the coast is getting painfully strong. If I couldn’t see the sea for more than a week I would find it hard to concentrate on anything. The ocean is a fascinating place with a threat in one hand and a gift in the other. It's draw is overwhelming. Prepare yourselves for a barrage of images over the next week or so.

I might have to go back to Holywell Bay again.

Holywell Bay, Cornwall

Alan Lomax and myself popped down to Holywell Bay in Cornwall on Saturday. I have wanted to view and photograph the many caves along the coastline for many years. I torn between the fantastic sunset and the dark cold caves. Seeing as we got there too early for a sunset so I decided to have a look at a cave or two. I entered one cave and I could hear water falling in the distance. When I got closer I found a delightful little waterfall in the cave. I setup the camera and flash with some small lighting around but I need to take down some decent lighting and equipment to really show these amazing natural places. However I couldn’t come home without a shot of the reflected sky over the smooth white sand of Cornwall.

More from Holywell later in the year.

Whitsand Reflections

Alan Lomax and I went to Whitsand Bay in Cornwall yesterday. We went via the Torpoint Ferry and it took us about 40 minutes from Marsh Mills, Plymouth. 

Just as we got on the ferry it clouded over and pored down with heavy rain. As we drove off the ferry, the rain stopped, the clouds broke and by the time we got to Whitsands we were left with just enough clouds for some amazing reflection shots. 

The tides were shorter that I thought they would be, leaving us further up the beach than anticipated. But never the less a great evenings shoot.
