  • Mindful photography at the seaside, what could be better? After a week of sunny weather, I head to the beach to make the most of the golden evening light. Rather than photographing generic seascapes, I look below my feet and discover a new world of photographic opportunities.

    This really inspired me. I am in the process of going to Myrtle beach in about a week. Now I have new ideas. Thank you.

    Nice vlog Kim but that snail 🐌 beautiful. I wondered what you were up to. When you say you were watching a snail Mmm. Time well spend Kim it's all that small things and connections that make the difference... However it does need a name..... 😂 😂

    What a lovely night. Love the patterns and shapes of the sand left behind by the tide. Really liked the colour photo's of the snail with the light on it and the sand. Never seen a snail leaving tracks in the sand before. You are so right...take the time to look down. You neve know what you will see.

    Totally agree with you.I quite often do exactly what you say and do, looking down at the sand and photographing shells and other things of interest, on my local beach.Getting strange looks from other beach strollers, but us photgraphers know what we are up to.

    Wow, those snail pics were beautiful, think my favourite was either the square crop or the portrait one at 9:50 - all the negative space in the portrait one probably just clinches it for me :D and the music choice was perfect for these! Well done adapting to your surroundings, it's a great lesson to learn.

    Some interesting images.
    Food for thought.

    Some beautiful shots there Kim, thanks for them and for the insight into what is beneath our feet. The image at 09:15 is stunning with the subtle colouring in the sand blending into the colours of the snail. Wonderful
    PS After your little homage to the snail, I could easily imagine you going home and emulating the Bard by penning "To a Snail"

    Some good tips there Kim, we have a few beaches local to me and i find them very flat and nothing to write home about there is no real foreground like rocks or sand dunes just flat sands , maybe this will open my eyes next time i visit, i like the snail images at 9:16 and 9:58 , really nice .

    • @kimgrantphotography
      @kimgrantphotography  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you Lee. Yeah some beaches are less exciting than other from and landscape or foreground point of view. It is amazing what you can find when you look down though. Good luck next time you're at your local spots.
