First Light

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 15 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

Another one from the archives from Morecambe Bay in NW England.

This is a variation on a photo that I posted back in December 2008:

The photo was taken at the end of October in the hour after dawn with the low morning sun reflecting on the sand still wet from a sudden rainstorm and the ebbing tide.

Although you can't really tell from the photo, it was very stormy weather with winds of at least 30mph. The fast shutter speed was my attempt to compensate for the fact that I couldn't hold the camera steady enough.

I've decided to enter the 'Cool Photoblogs' annual competition again this year. I'd really appreciate a vote from any of you who like my blog and who feel up to going through the registration process that is required in order to be able to vote: 2009 Photoblog Awards

For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to MY NEW WEBSITE where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.

Links to the websites of other photographers whose work I love and who have all helped me enormously over a long period of time. I find the work of all 3 to be inspirational.
