Just another sunset

Out and into the sea, this was a rare delight. I was at the right time at the right place when the sun settled behind the ocean near a remote beach in Costa Rica.

Just another sunset

Staying with the theme of sunsets, this is a sunset in Brighton. And come to think of it, some of the most amazing sunsets I have ever photographed were in England.

A photographic study: Colour versus B&W

As I continue to explore photography from various angles,  the impact of colour is one of the obvious subjects of interest. And I thought I put this to the test by looking at the same image in colour and black & white.  Now, I would be very interested to hear your opinion. Which image does have a stronger impact for you? My last post which was published in colour, or its black & white version?

Getting into the scene

Do you feel like being in the water? Playing with perspective I'm interested on the effect it has on the message and the viewer. And, the photo also picks up on several of 'my' themes, it has a wide tonal range of the same colour, strong light reflections and a strong sense of space.

Light reflections

What I was after were the light reflections in the water, a theme that's fascinated me before. But the image seemed incomplete without the sun. So I dared challenge the camera and took the photo with the sun straight ahead of me. The photo was taken on Bowen Island, Canada, on an early evening as the sun started to go down.

A study in blue

It was a bit hazy that morning, a sight that I like to play with in my photography. The haze seems to blur the line between sea and sky. The play of colour underlines this confusion going from dark blue to light and betraying the onlooker of where the sea becomes the sky.

Little Souvenirs

Ipanema beach at the end of day. I love this time of the day when the last bits of sunlight creep across the mountain and illuminate the haze washed in from the sea. I love walking along the beach at this time of the day and to be part of the last activities before night falls.
