3 monochrome beachscapes

[cardiff_gareth]

During a right battering of rain and hail, I thought it would be a great idea to visit a local beach and see what the light was like. I can now say, wearing a waterproof jacket and denim shorts isn't a good mix when the heavens open, sideways at you, and not only does the rain hit you, but the water runs down a waterproof jacket and soaks you even more! It was worth it though!

Travelled light, just the K1ii with the D FA 28-105mm

Moody photographs, nice. I am glad the equipment didn't suffer in the downpour!

Thanks!

Luckily both camera and lens are weather resistant so were both happy for the shower!

The light on the pebbles in the foreground of the first one is stunning. I might have a go at accentuating them perhaps by cropping.

Top effort, Gareth! Really really like those. Are the beaches local? I was wondering if the first was Southerndown / Llantwit Major way.
