Beach Hut Portraits

Two elderly men relax in beach huts, one seated in a chair with sunglasses, while the other is reflected in a mirror inside the hut, with the ocean in the background.
Hove Promenade

As I was passing, I noticed the mirror in the hut and they invited me over to take my own photograph in the reflection. I started framing it up, then asked if I could include them in the picture and this was the result.

Enjoying the Sun

A heavily tattooed man with a beard lying on a park bench, wearing sunglasses, with a relaxed expression, under bright sunlight.
Hove Promenade

I was photographing the sea from the railing next to this bench, while he watched me. Eventually I told him how I like his ink and asked if I could take his picture. After I showed it to him we had a quick laugh about our spreading middles.

Dividing the Frame

A serene view of the ocean with shimmering water reflecting sunlight under a clear blue sky.
English Channel from Brighton

An exercise in dividing the frame, using the specular highlights on the water to place the brighter part below the dividing line instead of above

Flight of the Langoustine

View of a decorative metal structure along the seaside, with the ocean in the background and a seagull flying above.
Hove Plinth (Grand Ave)

I’ve photographed Hove Plinth before, but now from a different angle with more sea and the flight of a seagull. I was scouting the viability of this path for a “dividing the frame” group shoot.

I See You

A person sitting on grass with their back to the camera, accompanied by a brown dog, in a park with flowering trees and various people scattered around enjoying the outdoors.
Pavilion Gardens, Brighton

I’m not sure what this dog was looking at, but he maintained this pose long enough for me to get out my camera, get it on and focused and take a few shots. He was very still and focused.

Yellow

A bouquet of bright yellow tulips with green leaves against a black background.
Cameron Contemporary Art gallery, Hove

Just happened to see these tulips in a vase against a black wall as we were exiting the gallery and grabbed this quick shot, still with the 60mm macro (90mm equiv), without checking the aperture, yielding the overly narrow depth of field.

Hide Out

A serene view of a calm lake surrounded by lush greenery and trees under a clear blue sky.
Wakehurst Botanic Garden, UK

We sat in a hide and gazed through the window slots at this peaceful pond or lake. As a gentl breeze blew across the top of the water, specular highlights shimmered towards us. Impossible to capture the movement in a still photograph, I still attempted to get the magic of the scene.

A tranquil river scene with shimmering sunlight reflecting off the water's surface, surrounded by lush greenery and trees.
