Dividing the Frame

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

Still more murmuration

Murmuration over the West Pier and an in-camera panorama from the sun going down to West Pier

In mid-February we went back to the Doughnut Groyne, between the Palace and West Piers to see the murmuration of the starlings again. This time they were rather further away from our vantage point but we still managed to capture something.

Dusky Afternoon

Walking home along the beach on a wintery afternoon a week ago.

In the beginning…

…God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.

Hard not to think of words like these (at least in the West) upon seeing such a sight. Probably the wind turbines don’t support the imagism, but don’t tell Donald.

Some Views from Hove Beach

The light in the clouds on the right, above, is not the sun, but a bit of a solar halo (see last post) – the sun is off to the left, just out of shot.
