Coasting v2.0 by graemestevens

Coasting v2.0

As always when my inspiration takes flight and buggers off to sunnier climes I resort to the beach....and bide my time.
Somewhat surprisingly, this is best on black.
Oh not so surprising. The Oregon Coast is very well suited to B&W. This is very poetic in a ominous way.

The clouds make this shot for me. Excellent in b&w, as always.

The ocean/beach is a great place for inspiration. Always the same and yet always different.

Love the shot; especially the clouds pressing down oppressively on my psyche. :)
December 7th, 2015  
Wonderful!!

The light and the lowering sky create a narrow world in this scene. Love the wet sand reflections too!
December 7th, 2015  
The wet sand looks like glass. Great shot, Graeme.
December 7th, 2015  
It's beautiful, nice to have a go-to!
December 7th, 2015  
Fantastic contrast!

@elytra Thank you very much :)
@kt8ird Thank you - it's one of my favourite haunts
@bigugly That would explain the crunching underfoot - and thanks very much
@maggiemae Thank you very much - I do what I can ;)
@photographycrazy Thank you very much :)
@juliedduncan My psyche is completely buggered so I'll have to take your word for it - and thank you
@joansmor It's completely different every time, I think that's the attraction. That and the solitude.
@888rachel Thank you very much - it's not often that Mother Nature plays along!
@joysabin Thanks very much - I'm a big fan of a dramatic coast
December 7th, 2015  
That's pretty glorious... You sure do know what to do w a dramatic sky!
December 7th, 2015  
Fantastic! What a great "resort"!
December 7th, 2015  
Gorgeous! FAv!
December 7th, 2015  
Damn, son. (Those are the first words that came to mind.) No beach shot for a while and then BAM in the face, completely excellent shot.
December 7th, 2015  
I lied you had a couple of beach shots but they were different, you know what I mean.
December 7th, 2015  
Lovely clarity
December 7th, 2015  
@jeneurell Thanks very much :)
@kerosene Thank you kindly, I'm so pleased I was able to hit you in the face ;)
@kareenking Thank you very much :)
@lsanderson55 Thanks very much - it's not too bad a place to go to when you're in need...
@northy Thank you kindly - Mother Nature played the game for a change, I just tweaked it a little...
December 7th, 2015  
SO well composed and processed! Can't say anything more clever than that...it's just a great shot.
December 7th, 2015  
@taffy Thank you so much, very much appreciated :)
December 7th, 2015  
Really beautiful

@trinda Thanks very much :)
December 7th, 2015  
Perfect exposure. Love the full range of tones. For the past month here the sea sky and land have all been the same shade of grey! Lack of inspiration suits you! Fav
December 7th, 2015  
@yrhenwr Thanks very much - I must say I do enjoy grey ;)
December 7th, 2015  
Awesome sky. And can we view photos on black? Surely this is some type of witchcraft?
December 7th, 2015  
@karlow75 It's some new fangled invention I believe...I'm not entirely sure I trust it
December 7th, 2015  
Stunning clouds :)
December 7th, 2015  
Favulous!
December 7th, 2015  
Is good, big rockey knob an all...
December 7th, 2015  
A wonderfully dramatic sky.
December 7th, 2015  
the space between earth and sky...
December 7th, 2015  
Love that sky! Excellent shot.
December 7th, 2015  
@kategoring Thanks very much :)
@blueberry1222 Something like that, yes ;)
@lynbonn Thanks very much - it was already there, all I did was tweak it a bit ;)
@jack4john I love a good rocky knob ;)
@shepherdmanswife Thank you very much :)
@hermann They were already there, I just gave them a bit of a helping hand ;)
December 7th, 2015  
Beautiful!
