Default Yesterday I went to the beach...

It must be nice being Beachcomber. This was Aldeburgh in Suffolk.

Seagull

Staring out to sea, Aldeburgh

Fishing boat

I think I might have overdone the dof a bit in this one...

My girlfriend should see this set! She loves bird-shots!
Excellent bird shot! And Interesting DoF, idea on the last one!
Thanks for sharing with us, AndCity

Great job on the Gull, very crisp focus. I love the 2nd one, Beach would have a wonderful title and prose to go with that one.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Thank you for your kind comments - the light there was superb! Out of interest this is what the third shot was:

Isn't it nice to go to the beach just about anytime one wants to. Wish I had that opportunity. All of these are delightful shots. The gull is very crisp and clear, I like the composition in your second. All of us ought to feel very small when we gaze a the ocean. I think you made the right choice in your last shot. I like the focus on the rocks much better than the focus on the boat. I just feel like it is much more interesting that way.

Love them all! Beachcomber will be delighted to see them with a mention in his honour! I too love the focus on the pebbles - it makes you curious about what the red thing is! But I did enjoy seeing the boat too, I'm a bit of a boat fan!

Shame! It seems as though Beach has gone away for a week...
