I feel I am spending too much time shooting on the beach these days, but as always, there is something that draws me in for a few snaps. Besides, water is incredibly photogenic.
It is my favourite type of sky happening over Poole Bay, Dorset: plenty of heavy cloud that is constantly on the move, casting large shadows over everything - interspersed with pools of sunlight that picks out detail - as with this chap, sat all alone on a pretty much empty beach.
At first I think he is fishing, since he is seated, but as I draw near I notice he has nothing to fish with: no rod or line. I make a few photographs anyway, placing him in the corner of the frame to enhance the feeling of his isolation. It's not until I open the files on my computer do I notice he is, in fact, just sitting by the sea, and playing with his mobile phone and taking in the sun.

Ah, I thought you were going to say you took the picture of your mobile. I think you should do a week long experiment and just use your phone. A test of willpower.
I like the new look blog, and thank you for the little link. :)
That's not a bad idea, Nic. I don't know just how versatile my phone is, but I will give some thought for a weeks worth of blog images shot on the camera contained therein.
Thank you, and my pleasure. ;-)
