Low Tide #729

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted March 29, 2016215 views5 comments
At Rocky Neck State Park here in CT; a late afternoon in Jan 2016.  I liked the patterns left in the sand at low tide and tilted the camera for a different composition. Sony a77II, ISO 250, f/13, 1/25, tripod mounted, Tamron 16-300mm zoom at 24mm (equiv).  Sharpened and adjusted brightness in post.  Comments and suggestions always welcome and thanks for viewing.

I really like this, Jim. Excellent natural abstract. Tilting the camera added to the interesting effect. Well done.

I like your angle of view, Jim.  Having the vanishing point at the corner certainly adds some extra tension for the viewer.  The ripples are well pronounced and the occasional break in the pattern add interest.

These are very nice patterns in the sand and I think you did a good job by changing the point of view. Pastel colors are nice.

Having the size of the ripples get smalleer into the corner is really effective.
