    I took my camera down to the beach today as we've had another high tide and the sea was very choppy. Thought I would try black & white for a change.

      Ooooh - moody! I like :)

      In fact, I would go as far as to say that I would love that first image, on a canvas, on the wall :blue thumb:

          Thanks guys, funny enough, I am after a b&w print to complete a set in my living room. I'm trying to get a decent one of the Iron Men (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Another_Place) so I have something which is also locally themed. I've snapped this but I think with the right conditions, I could get something better. Not today though, they were completely submerged!
          Happy to send you the file FC

            That would be champion - thanks Yvonne :)

            I'll PM you my email address.

            If it helps, I have bought canvas prints from photobox before, and they were spot on. Boots have also started offering the canvas service in selected stores (Mrs C is responsible for it in her store) and its now possible to have one done in around an hour. :)

                            Hi Harry, yes, I was just by the Coastguard station, I walk there quite a bit with the dog as I live very close. Always something to photograph down there, especially when the weather is extreme.

                              Yes it is a dangerous stretch of beach if you don't know it, we constantly get people getting stuck in the sinking sand. There is lifeguard cover over the busy periods.
