If you’re peckish, Worthing beach offers you a choice between ice cream and raw fish. Not a sushi bar, but fish from the independent fishermen who sell their catch from stalls next to where they land their boats. For me, indifferent to the pleasures of piscine dishes, the fishing ephemera offered a suitably engrossing photographic subject.
On a wonderfully sunny afternoon, the winches, buoys and nets gave me a good opportunity to experiment with the manual settings on my camera, and I happily lost myself amongst apertures and exposures. Contemplating a photograph you are proud of is satisfying, but what I love about photography is the way that it offers me a sense of peace, a complete absorption in what I’m doing that drowns out my mental background noise.

I especially love the last photo.
ReplyDeleteIt gives me a sense of the peace you felt while shooting it!
Lovely shots and colours. I'll have an ice cream please...
ReplyDeleteIsn't photography wonderful in that way ? When one is out with a camera, one can be totally absorbed by the visual world, and interacting with it to make images that may, just maybe, stand the test of time...
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, J! We would appreciate it if you could make a little more visible link to My World, just clicking on the "mwt" doesn't take you there -- or at least it didn't me! Hope you have a great week!

Great eye. I loved all the pictures but the first really got me.
ReplyDeleteCreative post and photos, I think i would prefer the ice cream.
ReplyDeletePhotography is an absorbing pursuit. I enjoy it, too. Interesting creative photos. Between raw fish and ice cream... well, I'll take chocolate.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you've imersed yourself in the subjects. Being in the Now will put all else out of mind. And the excellent captures more than show you were there.
ReplyDeleteI'd like the ice cream too.
So eight, nine, ice cream cones?
