No sky: big foreground



There is always the element of luck when shooting in an uncontrolled environment, and yesterday's shoot at the beach proved to be a wash out due to a lack of it. At the time of low tide the sky was almost cloudless, but it was a strong human presence that effectively put paid to achieving anything approaching the mood I was trying to create.

Today was a significant improvement. There was only one other person - another photographer - at my chosen location, but once again the sky wasn't happening. Instead, I went for a big foreground, using the ripples in the freshly exposed sand as the major part of the composition.



12-24mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/250 second at f/8. Matrix metering. -1 stop EV compensation. IS0 160
