Blackpool Seascape Series

Blackpool Seascapes

Shot principally from the front at Blackpool in the North West of England, these seascapes show the beauty that only nature can produce. The reason Blackpool was chosen is that the public has very much a preconception about seaside towns. They have them as dirty and loud with candy floss and fairground rides thundering past temporarily masking the sounds from acres and acres of arcade machines.

The continuing brief is to produce the most beautiful photography with all the trappings of a noisy seaside town behind.

There are challenges with photographing nature. Non more than there is little idea of what display nature will provide. All that can be done is to check tide times, the weather and place the camera in the correct position. The rest (colours, waves etc) are all down to chance.

However, even if the results of a specific day aren’t up to scratch then there is joy to have spent time in the arms of nature. Remembering that as the last second of the sun can be seen retiring below the horizon that somewhere else on this planet of ours, it has just peeped into sight.
