sand reflection by ingrid2101

sand reflection

Lovely sunset today and went to the beach later , really to take photos of the snow as it's eerie when you see it on the beach but I liked the reflections and textures of the sun in the sand ripples. I have rotated it so the emphasis is on shape and texture rather than sand

Lovely! At first I thought it was ropes of kelp, then maybe corrugated iron... you fooled me with that turn! I really enjoy your images, I find them always interesting, and love how first they often seem quite dark but there is usually a myriad of subtle colours on closer inspection. :)

Great texture, great tones. :)

Intriguing...love that you rotated it....makes one really take notice of the beauty you have captured.
January 23rd, 2013  
This works on every level, colour, texture, composition, the rotation...
January 23rd, 2013  
Ahhh got it! Ive been looking at that for a good few minutes. Love it. What a great way to treat the shot! Fav

Ps only just read the text haha. Glad i didnt before!

@spankyjane thanks Mel, it's not often me and subtle come up in the same sentence! I just find sometimes things can be lost if the image is easily identifiable- if that's makes sense :)

@lindseying @corgimom @sheilag @gwhit123 thank you for the comments - George I'm the same I don't offer read the text for a while

Love the way you've rotated it, it makes you explore the image much more.
January 23rd, 2013  
Ooh yes, I like this. The light, the contrast, the texture. Fantastic.
January 23rd, 2013  
That just oozes texture and reflections. Nice one Ingrid

@rikshore thanks Rik, it's one of the advantages of not having a proper camera- yet! The iPhone is so easy to play around with

@seanoneill @steampowered thank you Sean and Paul, I just love textures and light so much, your comments are much appreciated :)
January 23rd, 2013  
You have spotted another beautiful image in which texture and light are playing. Wonderful Ingrid, just wonderful.
January 23rd, 2013  
very nice!
January 23rd, 2013  
Lovely shot, the rotation really works.
January 23rd, 2013  
Great image. Love the colours and reflection. Nice idea to rotate it. Once you see what it is you can almost feel the wet sand running through your fingers!

You take wonderful images with the iPhone. I've never liked cameras without a viewfinder, but these images do make want to explore the capabilities of my camera phone.

Love the texture and repetition. Great idea to rotate it--very nice.
January 23rd, 2013  
@dave_rv Thanks Dave, another advantage is apps, I know what you mean about viewfinders. The same with the lens, I tried my husband's camera and tried to twist the lens to focus. Will maybe try it again !

@masosy Thank you Kate, and congrats on your flower on PP - you totally deserve that :)
@juliesviewoflife @janpenny @thedoublea Thanks for your comments - never totally sure if I should go with my ideas so it's really encouraging to get comments like this :)

beautiful.. almost could be bark on a tree.. loving the shades of this!
January 23rd, 2013  
Beautiful image Ingrid - really thought it was the sun shining on a metal fence when I first saw it! Love the light and the rotation is so clever - totally alters perception! : )
January 23rd, 2013  
The sand is very tactile - close, closer than I am usually. Turned around it becomes about light and form and shape and less a picture of sand at all. Quirky. Great image Ingrid.

@mizhayz @rennes @annethomson
Thank you all! I'm enjoying that everyone is seeing different things - it's making me see it differently too
January 23rd, 2013  
Love this. Turning it turns on the imagination. I see the kelp I was photographing on the weekend. It's a beautiful composition.
January 23rd, 2013  
cool shot, love the texture :)
January 23rd, 2013  
Quite nice... lovely.
January 24th, 2013  
the textures look lovely in the twilight -- beautiful!
January 24th, 2013  
This is awesome! You have an eye.
January 24th, 2013  
wonderful tones and textures... and definitely has an abstract feel from the rotation!
January 24th, 2013  
Love this! I liked it immediately but had no idea what it was. The rotation really separates it from "reality". Great tones and reflection.
January 24th, 2013  
great abstract
January 24th, 2013  
great photo, the abstract works really well. Turning through 90 deg, I thinks makes the photo even better.
January 24th, 2013  
Cool
January 24th, 2013  
Beautiful abstract!
January 24th, 2013  
I like the way you've rotated this - clever idea!
January 24th, 2013  
oh lovely idea to turn this frame...
January 24th, 2013  
Excellent photograph.
January 24th, 2013  
superb shot. love the frame flip too ads an unreal quality.

@paulavdmerwe @elsbels @aspada @mariadarby @rg37
Thank you all for the comments, very much appreciated

Such human forms hiding in this sand - I think the rotation was a great move to coax them out. Lovely.
January 25th, 2013  
My first thought was that these were metallic forms. I love the way you've manipulated this image to play with the mind a bit. And I see those human forms that Spirrow mentioned too. Very cool.
January 25th, 2013  
Brilliant rotation - A fav for sure!
January 25th, 2013  
Very nice image Ingrid - I suspect I'd prefer it unrotated though.
January 25th, 2013  
Fantastic. So effective turned to portrait
January 25th, 2013  
Intriguing, love the light and textures
January 26th, 2013  
Lovely twist to this - it looks really organic
