October’s theme / technique: Seascapes
This can be your typical beach scene of blue water, white sand and beach umbrellas, or it can be more dramatic. Above all make sure you are safe and not likely to be cut off by the tide if you go wandering along the shoreline. Winter storms can make for dramatic shots of waves breaking over a promenade or against the cliffs, but donโt take risks.
Consider three essentials – place, time and means. The most important being place. To discover the perfect position you might have to take your time. When you see a view that looks promising, put your camera away, slow down, walk and look, walk a little more and look a little harder.
-
- You might like to soften the water or freeze the waves..
- Rocky outcrops, lighthouses, surfers, lifeguards all make good subjects
If you are unable to take seascapes or donโt have any in the archives that you would like to use then by all means substitute seascapes with landscapes. This week it is easy – simply capture a sunset or sunrise or a reflection.
This week's assignment - highlight a dramatic sunset or sunrise or reflections on the beach

The tyre tracks make that last shot. I feel I ought to know where it is, but I don’t. Now then. Those Challenge shots. Which ones to choose? You might get overwhelmed!
St Michael’s Mount.
I thought it probably was – but I wasn’t sure.
Such a beauty, that first one! ๐ ๐ I just slipped one in before you put this up.
I know and thank you. ๐
amazing shot and beautiful captures…simply Explore an endless taleโฆ.
St Michael’s Mount is a great backdrop to any photo. Love the first one for the sky too.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Thanks Pete. Quite close to us, but always so very busy especially with coaches. Best time to visit is in winter, but then the garden and castle are closed of course. But a nice walk across the causeway.
Oh, love that first image! And I shall do a post from some oldies….
Oh good!

St. Michael’s Mount, as opposed to Mont Saint Michel., which would have translated you across the water.
And a very different mount, not to mention language โบ๏ธ
