Beach, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

I haven't been very active on here lately, still off work suffering from a back injury :( . I took this while out in B.C. but I forget the name of the small town (sorry).

Nobody has marked this note useful

Hello Karen,

Sorry to hear about your back. Hope it will heal soon. This view is pretty. I truly miss the beaches of the tropics but the ones in BC seem very attractive as well. Good perspective with the blue background creating contrast with the grey sand. Thanks Karen :-)

It is a nice vertical composition.
I can imagine the water temperature!!! I hope it did not harm your back and I wish you a rapid recovery.

Hello Karen,
I like the use of the vertical format and the low point of view, which emphasises the patterns in the sand. Lovely tonal contrast between beach and the gorgeous blue sky. The green umbrella adds an additional splash of colour.

Hi Karen,
Good beach view in great colours and a fine inclusion of the long sand strip with sparse grasses.
Take care with your back.
regards, gerrit

Hi Karen.
Hope your back is making recuperative progress!
Your picture is a lovely one. I like the well defined wavy ripples in the sand, and the contrast they make with the wonderful gradient in the blue sky. The umbrellas make an eye-catching focal point against the backdrop of the distant blue mountains. I think the inclusion of the grass/weeds was a good idea, too. Nice work.
Regards,
Andrew

hi, Karen,
that's no need to see many people on this beach, it still attracting people come and go. once you get there, just relax and forget all the pain and avoid to be bothered. i can feel the relaxation here.

J-P,

Hi Karen,
Another fantastic shot from the west coast with the vivid blue sky and silhouetted mountains contrasting so vividly with the swirling sands of the beach.
The vertical format works very well here.

Hello Karen,

How sad that your back is still creating problems for you. It is a very dibilatating complaint.

The low pov on your shot captures good textures and patterns of the sand making an interesting f/g which contrasts well with the smooth blues and upright mountains in the b/g.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Karen and welcome back! I hope you had a great time this summer, besides that back injury (Rodeo?). I wish that everything will be allright with your health, as soon as possible!

Excellent photo, unusual choice to leace so much space to the sand, but it results a great composition and framing! Flawless light managment, beautiful colours!

batalay (41261) 2009-09-13 12:31

Hello Karen,

This is an unusual shot, giving 2/3 of the frame to the sand, and 1/3 to the sky, and inversion of the usual order. But it is effective, and a good experiment.

Warm regards. (I hope your back is on course for full recovery.)

You have a nice division of the frame, Karen, and the contrasting areas of color are exciting and refreshing. It is a careful composition and it shows. Regards Kevin

Hello Karen,

Not so often we see beach images from Canada!
I like the composition with the footprints in the sand leading to the water, the blue blue water surrounded by the familiar mountains...

Greetings,
