COAST PHOTOS

I have enjoyed photography for many years, for the most part taking pictures if I liked the composition, light or found something interesting. There was little regard for what style to follow, landscape, street, architecture, etc. Naturally when the surf was good I'd make an effort to get some photos and a camera would be with me when visiting places, of course the last 18 months have changed things a bit!

Lockdowns and travel restrictions clipped my wings and so without meaning to, my photography has morphed into the theme of seaside town and coast.

This shot is from my only journey away from Newquay last year, a few days on the south coast to visit family.

FINAL LAP FOR SUMMERTIME BY THE COAST

As ever the British weather has been a mixed bag this summer, of course just as the  kids and teachers go back to school a few days of warmth and sun arrive.

It has been very busy in Newquay, to the point I hid from the crowds, I did venture out with my camera occasionally and also made a journey to the south coast to see family.

SUMMER IN A SEASIDE TOWN

Summertime in Newquay is busy, with European travel restrictions continuing the town seems even busier than usual.

The hordes bring business, colour and interest along with crowds, queues and covid.

I have been less enthused than I thought for the chance to take photographs at this time of year, this can change and I still have my camera by my side to get the odd shot.

MORE FROM THE HARBOUR

Working with surfboards has taken a lot of my time lately, I miss getting down to the harbour and watching it work in so many ways at this time of year, plus of course the chance for getting new shots to post and print.

Instead I am going through and reviewing photographs from earlier in the year, I am specifically looking to see what could be used with my collage work.
