Sculpted Shore
Rare outcroppings of rock along the coast south of St. Augustine FL. Even Florida’s minimal tide has sculpted the rock over the ages into all kinds of interesting shapes. That and the green and blue sea make for an interesting scene.
I tipped the camera down sharply to emphasize the long stretch of beach, leaving just enough horizon to keep it real.

Minor processing in Lr. Added Clarity and Vibrance, Landscape sharpen preset.

Stroked by the sea
A break from Scotland.
Went to the beach yesterday to test my new toy: the Sony Webbie HD camercorder/camera. While there I got fascinated by what the tide had done to the seaweed clinging to the rocks now above tide-line. Abstract, but completely real. These kinds of small details always interest me. I honestly don’t know how interesting they are to others, but I love to capture them.
For this image I found a small light colored snippet to place at one of the powerpoints in the image, hopefully to give the eye something to latch on to and make sense of the whole image.
To give you a sense of scale, the light snippet is about 1/3 of an inch long.
