Cornwall - Sandymouth - Waterfall No.2

I love the rounded granite blocks created by the erosive nature of the water!

This must be an extremely technically skilled photograph to freeze and define the water like this. It lends it a hyper-real quality.

Many thanks Andy and Steve

'Technically skilled', Steve..? hmm - no if I can do it anyone can - I lack any kind of patience or discipline. Equipment is mostly second-hand eBay - technique consists mostly of disgraceful swearing whilst trying to get an old rusted tripod to stay still - picking up the backpack without having zipped it up properly, thereby spilling lenses out onto the beach - mentally cursing the dog-walkers on the beach until they consent to go away... less a technician at work, more a demonic visitation. I think there may be some skill in deciding which image is actually any good though :)

Sometimes though the camera surprises you - that used to happen a lot more in the days of film, where chemistry could play a role - it can still happen on digital, though it seems rarer, and you have to abuse things and push the limits a bit differently.
