Beach Flow I

I was somewhat captivated by the ever-changing scene before me, as gentle waves rolled across the sand, changing the landscape with every sweep. I could have stayed there for hours!

    great capture

  • Duncan Waldron replied

    Thanks Zaldy – it took me back to the sort of thrill I used to get from photography, and have been missing.

    Fantastic capture.

  • Duncan Waldron replied

    Thanks Larry, glad you like it – I got a toasted head under a hot sun, to get these (more to come).

    absolutely dynamic image – can see why you could’ve stayed there for hours!

  • Duncan Waldron replied

    Thanks TLH – dynamic is the word, it was constantly changing … more like action photography than landscape!

    great shapes nicely composed

  • Duncan Waldron replied

    Thanks cameraman – composition was a real challenge with the waves changing the view every time; I was wishing I had one of those pistol grip tripod heads to ease the aiming!

    I like the interaction of the water and sand; very nice.

  • Duncan Waldron replied

    Thanks Chris; interaction was certainly the word. A time-lapse series might have been interesting.

    back to give props for this image… nature is wild and beautiful at the same time!

  • Duncan Waldron replied

    Many thanks Zaldy. I suppose this was a bit wild in its own way – it was a gentle process but very unpredictable in what exactly was going to happen next. Nature’s a funky place!
