NEW YEARS DAY

[Julian de'Courcy]

Had to get out the house, so took a short trip to Newquay on north coast. I live on the south coast. it is about 20-40 minutes ride depending on the emits about. I found myself once again in the harbour amongst the boats.
The 12-50 kit lens on the OM-D is ok for a stroll and more than adequate for my photography a lot of the time.

Almost surreal quality to the first three. The eye in the sand of the first, the strange beat in the third - even the colours of the third are Dali-esque. Great set!

That last one is VERY Dali landscapeish...

 

[Beth Carter]

great textures, as always.

 

[Lesley Jones]

I love them all, but the footprint in the first and the colours in the third are quite stunning

Wonderful stuff! Love the color in #3 and also the beachscape but all these images are very very good. I like #1 especially also; it has a beautiful brown/golden tone and with that comp I think you should frame it. (Your footprints Julian?)

Thanks Folk for the nice comments. Yes Brian looking at the prints they do look like Brasher walking shoe thread.. Funny thing is normally I look for untouched sand, but on this occasion I thought the print added something. It was also a good time for the pocket. I had been thinking about purchasing a 12mm f2 prime, quite costly. You all know how it works, the seed of the idea, lust desire grows and grows until we give in. taking the kit zoom and using the 12mm end, even though it is f3.5 -f6.5 or something similar , it does ok as long as I don't lust for f2.

Rob everything in life seems more and more surreal to me as I get older, no drugs involved either . I guess you mean beat boat?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No. I meant beast. Just mistyped! It does look like a beast to me...

 

[Dave Green]

Ace set - loving no4!

 

[Simon Ritchie]

I like images #2 and #3 (especially #3 - with red Post)

Thanks !

Fantastic stuff again Julian. And with your trademark look. The last one is a fabulous land/seascape. If I was forced to choose, it would be the first though.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Thanks Pete. You mention trade mark, I do now see that. Interesting.
