‘When the wind blows’

When the wind blows

In general, I am reasonably pleased with this image.  It conveys the sense of movement I hoped to capture and the pattern sits quite well as a composition.  But colour or black and white?  I’m still undecided.

More Dunes

My fascination with the dunes caused me to return on numerous occasions.  I became absorbed with the character of the landscape and decided to be a little more adventurous in my interpretations of the scene.

I also created a black and white image from the third of the group above.

Camber Dunes

The long sandy beach of Camber Sands is bordered on the landward side by picturesque sand dunes.  The dunes are covered with marram grass that has a deep root system to hold the grass in place.  Traditional chestnut fences help sand build up and check coastal erosion.

Flowering Grass

Flowering grasses have fascinated me for many years and have provided a recurring subject for my photography.  It is not the botanical detail that interests me but, rather, the way in which grasses interact with the elements  –  sun, wind, rain and snow.  It is the ‘behaviour’ of grasses  –  sometimes playful, sometimes mysterious, whispering or bold  –  against an unobtrusive background that intrigues me.
