The beach at Walton-on-the-Naze at dawn.

The high levels of erosion in this area means that there's usually lots of interesting subject matter on the beach, either washed up by the tide or eroded from the cliffs near by.

Benjamin: It's obvious you know how to use your gear. Fine exposure with a great DOF. Perfect TE upload and note. regards, c

Hi Benjamin, good picture, you`ve got a good effect with the use of speed of the camera, the colours are very nice and good point of view, well done, chau chau,

Hello,
a splendid view of the beach. One can just feel the erosion you are mentioning, each wave carrying away some sand from the beach... A living picture, indeed.

Best regards, Kristof

Lovely colours, great composition,
and clever time exposure.
TFS Benjamin.

Hi Benjamin
A marvellous simple composition. The slow shutter speed really works to imply movement in the water and create some pleasant lines that tie into the sky.
Well done
Phil

Hi Benjamin, i like this style of photo using an unusual low POV to get so much depth. Good choice for a diagonal.

Hi Ben
I like this compo. very nice long exposure to get the effect of the water. the light and colours are fantastic and the POV with the branch in the Fg gives a nice depth to the image

Hi Benjamin

Belle composition, et tout particulièrement l'idée d'utiliser une vitesse lente pour marquer le reflux de la mer. Bien; mais colorise un peu plus

Hi Benjamin. I have just been to the coast of New South Wales and took a number of shots along the beaches and that is why your gallery caught my attention. I do like your compositions and exposure expertise. The 1/2 sec exposure here has created a lovely effect so that the smoothness of the receding waves contrasts well with the detailed texture of the dead wood. Lovely light. Regards. Klaudio.
