Sitting on a branch
Relaxing in the sunshine,
Waiting for a fish.
I really like the Adamsky effect as a method of removing distractions for a more minimalist look. Not pure photography, but then what is? I have seen several methods for doing this on t’Interweb, and have settled on an amalgamation of a few. Maybe I should write a tutorial, but then people might think I know what I am doing. Can’t have that.
Lost in his own world,
Unaware and uncaring.
Just letting life flow.
One of the pleasures of landscape/seascape/nature photography is that you do have the opportunity to just turn inwards and get lost in the process of looking and finding compositions. Normally unhurried, the world just falls away as you focus on the scene unfolding in front of you. It is no wonder it is supposed to be good for your mental health.
Clean air and warm sun,
A walk along the tide line.
Picnic chair for one.
A slight application of background blur to this image of a family walking the beach at Filey, North Yorkshire. Only the one chair, but I am guessing that she who carries it sits on it.
Taking in the view
Loneliness is a mindset.
Enjoy the silence.
Another Place is an installation by Anthony Gormley on the beach at Crosby. There are 100 statues, and there are many more dotted around the UK, as well as other countries. Anthony Gormley is also responsible for the Angel of the North. A little Adamsky effect added to isolate the statue even more.
On the way back in.
The sea is calm, I am leaving,
Back when the surf’s up.
Taken on a fairly deserted beach in Ireland, the sea didn’t look the best for surfing. This was also one of my first images where I have applied the Adamsky effect. Sometimes the image is what you see, and not what is there.
