Pool of Ideas

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:36:14 +0000

by Glyn Davies Even in this thick sea fog the crash of the waves and the advancing tide is relentless and comforting, confirming a natural order of things, the spin of the earth, the pull of the moon, the winds and the gales blowing their way around the globe. Yet I stand here on the shoreline, in one small microcosm of the rest of the planet, wrapped up in my own thoughts, my own ideas and my own emotions and without doubt my memories. Perhaps the whiteness of the fog even encourages this mental escape, eliminating everything else about me, reducing chaos to minimalist simplicity, lovely!

Blown Away by the Bright Grass

Tue, 17 Nov 2009 13:35:31 +0000

by Glyn Davies We had just an hour before doing the taxi run to pick up our daughter from work so we finished up quickly and headed for the sea. Carol decided to use the opportunity as a chance for a walk whilst I headed for the rocks and gullies. However, what was far, far more interesting this time, was the intense light, blasting through between the torrential downpours from black rainclouds. The long marram grasses were bending towards me in the strong wind and the light was sheering off the blades with beautiful delicacy. The heavy skies on the horizon were front-lit but still provided the perfect low contrast, soft backdrop to the sharpness and detail of the grasses. It was lovely to just stand there watching the movement all around me, smelling the salt air and feeling the wind in my face. It's not often I hesitate to get the water's edge but this afternoon I had no choice! Full Story on my blog: anglesey-photo-artist.blogspot.com/2009/11/blown-away-by-...

by Glyn Davies The warm sun broke the dark shadows and threw lines of light to the pounding heads racing to reach the shore first. They were white, massive and magnificent. In fact although I have seen much, much bigger waves here at the Cape, I had never really 'studied' the faces through a long lens, actively followed the faces as they rose up and teetered at the top. I have always been in awe of the waves in surf magazines and would still die to sit in a viewing boat at Pipeline or Jaws but here I was in the early morning light of Cornwall, watching and listening to these magnificent beasts rear up and hurl themselves at the coast, the noise loud, continuous and unforgiving. I just wish I had an even longer lens as I wanted to shoot just the faces, not the crests or the pits, so I have very unusually cropped one image here just to show you why! I need something like a 200-400 VR lens but by all accounts they simply don't deliver on results but maybe for this sort of subject I would have found it more than acceptable, answers on a postcard please!
