A few weeks ago on our wedding anniversary, my wife and I decided to take a day trip to Scarborough on the North Yorkshire coast of England. Now, my wife’s idea of a day trip to the seaside is to spend time in the amusement arcades, and mine is to wander around taking photos. So we compromised and spent time in the amusement arcades! I did however see these lonely deck chairs on the beach whilst walking between the arcades and just had to snap!
I was there early to get a photo of the Twisted Chicks, 5.38am to be precise, and without a tripod with me, that meant a shutter speed of 0.5s.
Since a child I have loved going to the seaside. The ‘big sky’, the far reaching views in good weather, and the ethereal feeling when it’s not so good! I particularly like early morning, just after sunrise, when there are few people about, and the place is at peace, apart from the usual sound of the seaside such as seagulls, or waves lapping. The series, which may be found here, is mostly taken in England.
