I had a run out to the coast today on the new motorbike and enjoyed a couple of hours snapping at Cancale on the north coast of Brittany adjacent to St. Malo. You might think from this view that it is rather a quiet place... but nothing could be further than the truth. Had I turned round and shot the other way, you would have seen that the entire seafront (about 1.5 kilometres long) is lined with fish and sea-food restaurants offering a wide range of delights... most especially the oysters for which Cancale is justly famous. I prefer to eat shellfish when there is an 'R' in the month. so today I feasted visually only - there were plenty of takers however.
This is one of those photographs that works (IMHO) equally well in both colour and B&W: a choice was required and, unusually for me, I went with colour today.
It does stand out nicely viewed on black though...
Super shot, and the colorful boats definitely pop more when viewed on black. As for the seafood that sounds wonderful any month of the year to me, but that is because I live in the midwest of the US and just about all of the seafood has to be flown in.
interesting. What I might think, not having grown up anywhere boats are moored on tidal beaches is that there was a storm and now all these boats have been left high and dry!
I like the choice of color for this shot. The boats look like little toys, laying on their sides as they are. Amazing, what expanse the tides move each day!
This wonderful image has a touch of post-apocalypse to it. The boats look abandoned and my imagination runs wild as to what happened to the people. Brilliant, a fav and I would love to see it in b&w also.
The beach and sky seem to go on for ever Richard. I love this. Beaches are favourite places for me, especially when there are not too many people about! The scattering of little crafts are great too.
