For the past week or so I have been thumbing through some of the old photo magazines that I used to buy before the age of the internet and digital shooting, seeking inspiration. There's plenty of articles on a month-by-month basis, but nothing is blowing my hair back. Viewing the images I shot during the winter months doesn't help much either, knowing full well that this is where my real motivation lies.
But this morning I take a chance with the weather and go down to the beach. There's a low tide just before dawn and I want to see what's on offer. The light isn't very good; in fact it's terrible, but I set up and start making photographs nonetheless. Things don't improve as sunrise approaches, and it's the first exposure I make (above) that turns out to be the best.
12-24mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 6 seconds at f/11. Matrix metering. Tripod and remote release. ISO 100
