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 donβt 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 donβt 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

I need to apologise for my horizon as I know it will probably irk you. But it’s a lovely scene. π π
Looks fine to me on the phone!
Good lass! I decided it was a tad wonky but didn’t want to alter the dynamic. Or you could just say I was lazy π€£π€£π
Well if it is I can’t tell. π€
Here we are. https://margaret21.com/2020/10/13/a-sunset-symphony/. I’d been getting on alright with Blocks till today. Can’t get Featured Photos to work. It claims I had one displayed, but it was pretty invisible to me.
I hate the featured image, when I tried using it on my flower blog the photos were just too big, that’s when they showed up at all. I cheated and used one of the image blocks instead. Can’t remember the name, but I’ll have a look on the computer later.
Thanks! It was odd – it told me it was showing , but there it wasn’t, either on the draft or the post.
First timer–Hope I did it right π
Looks great Tina. Thank you for joining in with the challenge.

My favorite place, my favorite views…
