So I popped to the beach where I live to shoot some seascapes (for a change!)
Arrived late as didn't leave in time due to the kids so compositions were limited but hey, I was out and getting fresh air and enjoying a sunset!

These are the images I managed to shoot tonight.

All K3ii and DA* 16-50mm or 50-135mm. No filters

1. To add, no sharpening in Lightroom, there's a sliver of light on the edge of the rock

Spoiling us again
Getting harder to pick out favs, but if I did,
1, 3, 4, and 7
With 7 being my top pick.
Super set.
I know what i like, If not always why.

excellent as usual, but I do declare number 7 in monochrome would be most interesting

A superb set Gareth. Hard to pick favourites as they all very good but I have a leaning towards the light on the wet rocks in No.6 and the wonderful colour in the last one.

Thank you all, appreciate the comments

Nice to see the spread of images people prefer and not just one image being the preferred image! For me, that's a good thing

As with most of my images I always see what a mono conversion looks like, but all those wispy warmer areas where the sunset has been caught on the water inbetween the colder bluer tones were then lost and the image didn't have the same appeal so colour it was!

Great set, beautifully done! No 2 stands out for depth and plenty to explore, but the last one is a real "wow" shot! Great low angle, powerful lines and rich tones.

Something about No5 I quite like but cant put my finger on it.

No11 for me is fantastic. Nice lead in with beautiful colours you've captured.

To be honest Gareth if I had come across this shoreline I would have struggled to see any potential, so well done for seeing something others would pass by. Sign of a true photographer.

Very nice. Not a big fan of seeing the sea blurred, so 1980s 😂 so the last shot for me, but dramatic and very well shot.

I'm oldskool me

I'm thinking now, looking at image 2, it would work better as a square crop as to leave the bottom rocks out? Will have to try this later on when home!
