Last night Leighton and Angela Roberts challenged me to Aberavon Beach and 'Challenge' is one of few words I can use to describe the place, a long, flat, almost featureless stretch of sand with Steelworks on one side and Swansea on the other. So once again I decided to ditch my wideangle lenses and tried to focus on the smaller details.Focusing on smaller details is something that is easier said than done for me at the moment as I am very much used to ultra-wideangle lenses in places like this but I am slowly getting more comfortable using longer focal lengths and am finding it slightly easier to compose and single out individual elements within a scene.

Good to see a shift in the emphasis here Rob. It's also great to work in areas where you feel it's difficult to get some decent images from. I really like the second image here, there's a great quality of light and it works so well in B&W
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim! I'm going to try as much as possible to work familiar situations and locations in ways that I wouldn't normally consider. I'll probably start leaving most of my kit at home and try to work with one lens or one focal length to try and get more creative and be able to see things a little differently.
