    I try to avoid shooting into the sun. This specacular photo makes me wonder why.

      I’m sure I have heard that it damages the lens? But that might be an Old Wives Tale. Anyway I don’t shoot exactly into the sun, but in that direction. I do love the way the water shines. More to come.

        It’s not the lens that can be damaged, but the camera’s sensor and shutter curtains. Here’s more information:

    Love the sepia, old fashioned look about this photo Jude

      I like that too, no editing, it just came out like this!

      A beach in late autumn sun. Quite busy actually, though no-one in the water.

    Your ‘contre-jour’ worked well, Jude. I rarely attempt it myself.
    Best wishes, Pete. x

      Had to wait for the sun to disappear behind a cloud otherwise there was no definition of the cliffs, but I got a couple of interesting shots in this direction.

      Thanks Ros. I have two or three shots like this that I am quite happy with.

    I really like this Jude, especially the haze off the water. 🙂

      The wind was blowing quite strongly around that end of the beach.

        🙂 Isn’t it cool that in a totally static medium, wind is visible.

          I hadn’t looked at it like that, but yes!

      Thanks Lyn. Not my favourite one though. I have a couple of others.

      Thank you Adrian. I keep trying for one of Roath engine from the beach, but need a really low tide!

    I like taking shots like this, but I’m too daft to have thought I might be damaging my camera 😦

      As I said Gilly, probably just something (false) I heard.

    It’s a stunning capture Jude. Taking notes on this one and will remember this photo as we spend time in the ice and snow this winter.

      Thanks Sue. Yes, you should definitely try this. You’ll get some spectacular results on snow.
