Ian Bramham's Photoblog
This photo was taken in very high winds at about the same time as yesterday's shot during a brief spell when the sun came out from behind the heavy clouds.
An hour later and the sky was completely grey.

@Momo: Thanks Momo.....I'm pleased that you like the minimalism as I always strive to keep things as simple as possible. Some shots are more succesful than others but seaside shots definitely present the best opportunities.
@Andrew Gould: Thanks very much Andrew ...thats very kind of you!
@ManuelaR: Thanks very much Manuela!
@Michael Skorulski: I'm really pleased you liked it Michael....thanks!
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine....it was so nice to get a liitle sunshine. I saw my first daffodils flowering on the long drive home later that day and all the crocuses are out in full bloom; spring can't be far off now!
@Ami: Thanks Ami....we've had a lot of stormy weather recently in the UK which made this brief glimpse of sunshine even more special!
@KostaSantus: Thanks KostaSantus....I'm really pleased that you liked it!
@danthro: Thanks Danthro...there's something about winter sunshine that's very special; it certainly seems to have done something to the colours on this one. Maybe it's the air which is so clear due to all the rain.
@GJC: Thanks very much GJC....yesterdays photo wasn't very successful in colour (no sun on that one) but there seemed to be a sparkle to the air clarity when the sun did appear which made the colours really pop.
I used an ND grad filter on this one for the first time for these two shots at Morecambe.....I need more practise with it but I'll definitely be using it again when the opportunity presents itself.
@See The Light: Thanks Mary!....I had the aperture wide open on this one and yesterdays to keep the speed as high as possible. It's a 10-20 wide angle lens so luckily it isn't too demading to keep steady.
@tom: Hi Tom!.....Its amazing isn't it how sand that is wet but without standing water can show relected colour like that.
I tried getting a bit closer but the sand one pace closer in was so soft and deep that I nearly lost my heavy pull-on boots...it was a close call :-)
