You know what it’s like, same old faces, same old places but every now and then a different opportunity arises and you get to see things in a whole new light.
Low tide in Bembridge on the Isle of Wight offered me that this morning. I’ve been here a few times and have only shot the lifeboat station from the beach and had no idea of the shelf of rock the station is built on and the covering of life that lies just below the surface.
When I picked up my new lens I treated myself to a polarizing filter and I’ve been scratching my head to its usefulness but this morning in the hard light and reflections it came into its own and I really saw the difference it made.
As you can see I’m really working on my soon to be (really) here exhibition…
One could have a bit of a mid (that makes my final age 90 and that ain’t gona happen) life crisis… Or one could take pictures like this and remember the glare of the sun, the bite of the cold Wiltshire morning and bugger the lens flare!
“Hello darkness, my old friend,
A lesser trodden part of the Avebury stone circle and a Crow.
There are no words I can use to express how proud I am of my family but as I come to the end of this thing I can only say thank you for putting up with The Old Mans obsession and for everything you do and are! Love you guys! XXX
The camera goes away on the 1st Jan…. Maybe
Because I’ve got so many better things I could be doing…
