  • King Canute

    Unstoppable force
    Set free by the wind and tide.
    Boy stands defiant

    Taken during a stormy day at Scarborough on the east coast. I was waiting for a decent wave to photograph, and saw King Canute here facing down the seas. Needless to say, a fraction of a second later he was totally soaked. Wave 1 : Boy 0


  • Surfers Paradise

    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.
