Seascapes from Bulgaria

[Ken Rennie]

Hard to get compelling images when you have 5 miles of sand broken up by a few imported rocks every couple of hundred yds to reduce longshore drift. Across the bay is a peninsula with 6 or 7 medieval churches, still to come. On this side is a string of hideous chocolate box hotels, think Las Vegas but mostly cheaply built and thankfully without the neon. This was the best that I could do. Ken

The light was nice so a straight shot

Some ICMs to disguise the almost total lack of subject.

A calm day with a little surf breaking on a sandbar 100yds offshore

More wind, bigger waves and a threatening sky

I don't really know how I have got this look, it is in colour and looks a lot like a wild day on the North Atlantic coast

The camera motion works well for this area. It certainly met your goal of making endless sand more interesting. I like #3 in particular as an abstract that feels more like a painting.

I tend to avoid the parts of the NW coastline that are seemingly endless miles of sand.

I do like your #1, though it sounds like tough shooting conditions from the aspect of visual presentation. But #1 looks pretty cool, you made good use of the rocks.

I like all of your ICM images. ICM is something I wish I would remember to try more often, but I often only think about it when I see someone elses ICM images, like these great ones from you. It's hard to pick favorites of these, though I do really like #4 a lot.

Glad to hear that they hadn't imported the neon signs from Las Vegas at least on those box hotels.

great set, especially that last one. the colors and textures in that one are fantastic.
