"What do you see?"

From my photo journal...

A dad and daughter moment on an overcast day at Gun Cliff, Lyme Regis. 

I can almost hear the conversation: 

“What do you see, my love?” 

“The sea, Daddy!” 

“That’s right! And what else...?”

A quieter spot

Image
A gorgeous day that brought out the crowds to the beach. The stillness of this scene belies the activity of our day bathing, building sandcastles, queuing for ice-cream and crabbing off the harbour wall.  The slight ripple is nice. I like how it catches the light and paints the wiggly reflection of the mast.  And the clouds add interest to a beautiful sky. Everything looks good and serene and tranquil.  I preferred it here, away from the hustle and bustle of the seafront and arcades. Not sure my 5-year-old daughter did though! --- Here again in black and white:  --- Snapped on my old iPhone 6s at Lyme Regis harbour. --- Photo ref: 202208-Lyme-Regis-Holiday-56-2

Light and underlighting

Image
It was a stunning morning with a lovely warmth from the rising sun as it illuminated the leaves. I loved the light hitting the underside of those high branches.  A morning like this takes some beating.  I carried on for another hour or so following various tracks through the forest, deciding on a whim which route to take at each junction. A rare occasion to feel so relaxed and free to explore.  Wonderful.  ---  Here again slightly cropped: ---  Here are the same two shots in black and white. The warmth is lost but I’ve tried to retain the sense of morning glory. ---  Snapped on my old iPhone 6s at the end of Beechen Lane, Lyndhurst, New Forest.  ---  Photo ref: 20220829-Beechen-Lane-7 / 20220829-Beechen-Lane-5 IMG_4666 / HRGF9964

Standing at ease in the flat light

Image
Something about this tree stopped me scrolling as I reviewed my photos. Perhaps the flat light allows it to take centre stage. I love the elegant swoop of its lead stem.  Sunlight and shadows would add drama here. But this image has a calming effect on me. It’s not exciting but it is restful. It’s the bit in between life’s high and lows. —-  Snapped on my iPhone 6s on Beechen Lane, Lyndhurst in the New Forest.  —-  Photo ref: 20220910-Beechen-Lane IMG_4730
