The Sea / The Sky

There is extraordinary capacity for beauty in the sea and in the sky. Often the dialogue between those two planes is delightful.

I like the vastness of the sea; the movement in the water.

I like the depth of the sky; the colours behind the darkness.

      1. Hey! First off: I’m glad you noticed my name 😛. Second: I’m a new blogger around here and I would love to get some advice. What according to you is the most important thing you need for blogging?
        Thanks in advance 😊

      2. Hello. Hmm… I’m not sure to be honest. I would probably say the most important thing is having a clear idea as to what you want to say, or show – and a passion for that subject that will keep you motivated. Regarding building up a readership, the most important thing is patience – it takes time to build up followers. Post your work on the Community Pool, and try to share your work on other platforms – possibly targeting specifically individuals or organisations you think might be interested.

        Good luck, I hope it goes well!

  2. I love the long exposures. I don’t know enough to try that yet, I’ve recently been given an old SLR to play with to see if I actually want to go further with it. I haven’t been able to use it much because of shoulder problems but these are the kind of pictures I long to take.
