In preference

This rock groyne (one of many built to reduce longshore drift), has been a starting point for my seascape photography this winter. Providing foreground interest and texture, it has featured in a lot of the images I've produced during the season.

Today there's a weak sky, so I use the feature as the main subject. I liked the original colour shot, but came to prefer the monochrome conversion.

Painted ladies

At this time of year I find the beach to be almost irresistible when there's the promise of good light at sunrise. All that drama - and so early in the day - draws me in time and time again.

Today, the light is great, but the sky not so. I'm determined not to waste the glorious conditions, and look for an alternative subject. The brightly painted beach huts in front of Boscombe Spa Village provide just that.
