it's all in the timing see
If you've read this blog for any length of time then you'll know I love a coastal photograph.
If you read my landscape photography course you'll also know that timing is absolutely vital to get a really good image.
So, with the knowledge of the tide times for Ogmore Beach logged safely in my brain, I headed off there (safely of course) just after lockdown ended.
The image I had in mind was simple. A retreating tide weaving beautiful pattern around a large rock on the edge of the sandy shelf. A 2 second or so exposure should nail it - wispy white waves (practicing my alliteration there!!) curving around the rock would look lovely.
I got there just in time. I set my camera up and watched as a few waves rounded the rock before waiting for that perfect wave to capture.
It never came! The waves I watched were literally the last ones to reach the rock!
I was so happy that I think I might have used a rude word. Ten times.
Still, here's the rock.
