Wow, great shots, Mike! I especially love the second one, the one with the birds... and the storm in the Sun's southern hemisphere

Nice set, and I, too, like the second one best. Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

I like 1 and 4 best but they all have lovely light... Bit jealous as I could do with a couple of day being 2 minutes from a beach...

Great work there, thanks for showing us. Metering must have been a fair old challenge. 1 & 2 are really special. Colours and textures all blend together beautifully.
Only thing I'd wish for, if poss,on the wide angle shots, would have been a knees level viewpoint to really see those sand textures up close.

Number 2 is clearly the 'stand-out' image in this set. They are all good, but the second one is head and shoulders above the others.
Great shots Mike, thanks for sharing them with us.

Have to agree with David on this, number 2 is the stand out shot.
You could sell that to holiday companies, for anywhere from Wales to the Caribbean too!
Hope it wasn't all as dreadful as you feared .

"Not my thing". Pah! Great set. All strong, and I can see why #2 is the pull, but I'm also really drawn to #1 !

Not really my thing but I was pleased with them. K-5 and DA* 60-250mm or Sigma 12-24mm DG EX.
And a sunrise.
