I went to Reculver on a stormy and windy morning with a completly different shot in mind, when I happened to stumble upon this water outlet along the beach. It managed to shield me from the gale force winds for a while if nothing else.

You’ve captured the powerful flow of the water really well. I love the warm, gentle colours of the sky and beach.

WOW!!!! You have this and that castle near where you live?? Walking distance from it?? I am drooling in envy! I bet your seaside cottage is quaint as well!
Fantastic shot and excellent effects!
Could I see the real untouched version too? I’d like to compare … see the depths of your talent! :o)
Thank you for bringing this into my boring suburban world! :o)

I would have thought you would embrace the wet shoe shuffle with open arms…....lovely shot Stu….bigger appature….say f/5 to give the towers a spot of natural blur would be fab!
Mel Brackstone
Gorgeous shot, Stuart, love the motion blur in the water, and the framing is awesome! What a great use of the towers in the background! We don’t use wellies for the beaches here….just wear sandals or go bare foot. That’s a great sky as backdrop to the water too.

Great Image

This is amazing. I will never look at a water outlet the same way again. Great mood.

The man got silky water on a massive scale! And yes, you will get some wicked shots at sunset.

oastudios
super cool shot. i really like the yellow tones in the water and how they differ from the reds in the clouds
Steven Agius
Pure magic love that water, what a stunning capture.
Paul Tupman
Mate this is fantastic.. a real favourite! Love the blurred motion of the water as it pours over the edge and the framing is perfect.. great backdrop with what looks like a very interesting castle… fantastic light on the water and I love that yellowish glow. I see that you mentioned it was 2 degrees when you took this.. I did my first sunrises while in Canada… experiencing temps of -10 in the morning I am positely jealous!
Paul Vanzella
perfect exposure time to make the water look like silk… overall amazing shot with wonderful colour!

Hey Stuart, I haven`t beenm to your pf in a while but glad I popped by…
Obviously my attention was grabbed by your lovely slow shutter work on the waterfall, but looking further in I was taken by the drama and mysetry of the twin towers lurking behind. I love that there is so much interest in this shot from the front to the back and the soft pastels of the sky also lend to the mystery… almost like the calm before an oncoming storm. Nice work!

The waterfall is lovely; I like its softeness and color. I also like the contrast between the brownish foreground and blue background.

excellent shot!
Naomi Frost
This one is terrific, Stuart. Perfect exposure – the milky water is divine and the thick clouds with just a hint of colour just top it off. I really like the detail in the castle too – especially how you can still see the sky through the window. This one is a definite favourite.

Jane Keats
Ooo, I hadn’t seen this one before, it has a deep sense of mystery about it. Even the tones used add more to the questions this image has. Like did giants live there? Is there a wizard about?...

Fantastic seascape image with spot on light, exposure, color and composition. A well controlled long time exposure that gives the sense of motion and movement on the water, yet it retains all the details and colors. Beautiful.
