Hi,


Nice to see some good shots of my favourite UK holiday destination, spent many years around Padstow - stayed at Treyarnon Bay last year. Fantastic area for photographs, Bedruthan Steps has some great "features.

Like the framing on both the Camel Estaury/Yacht & the Trevose Lighthouse

Simon,

I grew up on Treyarnon Beach through my younger years, each summer we would head down for 3 weeks of sunshine and playing on the beach :)

In 24 years I've only not been down for a holiday there one year, and that was the year we ventured to France...

I just find anywhere in Cornwall to have brilliant photographic opportunities, and the walks are fantastic.

Thanks for looking, nice to see hear a reply from someone who can appreciate the area too.

Wow, the colour of the sea in number 4 is incredible and I love the lighthouse shot too.
Looks like a stunning place to visit, definitely putting that on the list.

The colour on number 4 (beach) is unbelievable.

I see you have a Nikon D50.. do you know what lens and settings you used for that?

[RickMezza]

Nice shots.
Dog one is funny, but the daisy is my fave....so sharp and lovely colours.
