Photography: Berwick-upon-Tweed Beach

Are you going somewhere that's good for photos but the weather is just not on your side?   Never fear!   Just HDR the crap out of it and pretend the light was interesting!   We went to Berwick-upon-Tweed beach because my auntie wanted to go to a honey farm.   Us being us, we left too late to go and settled for a trip to the beach instead.   These are the best shots:

Photography: Fields of Gold

On a family trip to the beach at Berwick upon Tweed we stopped at a service somewhere along the way.   There was a glorious view of an oilseed rape field.   It put me in mind of Sting's Fields of Gold.   Take a look around you!   There's plenty of beauty to be found in everyday unglamourous things.   Shame the sky wasn't blue, but you can't have everyone in the North of England.

Berwick-Upon-Tweed

I had a very enjoyable daytrip to Berwick-upon-Tweed a few months back and I, of course, took my camera with me.   The weather was great and I used my ND grad and managed to get a couple of decent landscapes.

Berwick-upon-Tweed beach is lovely.   Pretty wild looking.   In the second photo I tried to use lead-in lines.   The idea is to have lines in the frame, leading the eye from the bottom into the heart of the picture.   I think it worked pretty well.   the second photo certainly has more impact.  

I also quite like this picture of some swans that I snapped.   I didn't realise swans went onto the sea; I've only ever seen them on fresh water before.

   
                            I like the contrast of their white bodies against the brown water.


And now I shall leave you with one final picture.   Nothing special about this photo at all technically, but the name of this place made me giggle.   A lot.
