Nature's patterns...


Strong winds, gusting up to 65mph (105kmh), and heavy rain during the night give way by dawn to sunshine and blue sky. Although nothing too serious, weather like this can throw up all sorts of photographic opportunities, so it's out at first light with a camera.

Again, travelling on foot, I comb the beach of Poole bay in search of subjects. When a strong sea has been running, in combination with a high tide during the night, there's all sorts of stuff washed up on the shore. In spite of this I concentrate on the patterns made by nature. Last week it was wind that was the sculpture; today - water.
I make no apologies for yet another mono image, as it highlights form and texture created by the sea's action over the sand. A colour photograph would have less impact.

85mm f/1.4D Nikkor. 1/400 second at f/10. ISO 400
