Sea pool
It was my intention before arriving to capture a series of photos which I would then produce in black and white, however during processing I decided to retain the natural colour of the water for four out of the five.
All the photos were taken on the morning of the highest tide in August 2014 using a Nikon D800E, the colour versions have had minimal post processing mainly white balance and curves adjustments, the black and white is a composite of two images because there wasn't much cloud at the time of capture.
This location, like many along the Cornish coastline, was hit heavily during the winter storms of 2013/14, there used to be some steps with railings going over rocks at the edge of the pool, unfortunately they were washed away.
My full time occupation is as a commercial photographer with a strong emphasis on producing commercial stock photos, I can be found under the name RTimages on the internet.
In my spare time I enjoy many styles of photography including traditional landscapes, long exposures and multiple exposure, I find it helps me retain my love of photography in an artistic way.

entry description
A series of photos taken at the sea pool in Bude, Cornwall, England. Taken before sunrise at high tide as the sea washed over the wall filling the pool, I've used slow and long exposure techniques to show the interaction of the seas movement over time against the structure of the pool.It was my intention before arriving to capture a series of photos which I would then produce in black and white, however during processing I decided to retain the natural colour of the water for four out of the five.
