In Camera ... Postcard AG337



A vibrant, stormy October Saturday afternoon high tide at 3.30pm, a day of rapidly changing weather conditions, sunshine, showers, blue sky, rolling clouds. Just before high tide I went down to Hall Road, the waves were just rolling against the promenade wall. The sky had clouded over somewhat but I could see brighter sky on the horizon and decided to wait. Tantalizing glimpses of sunlight, faint glimmers on the rough water and lots of crepuscular rays on the horizon. One figure was holding my attention, I could see the possibilities if the light changed, if a gap in the clouds just happened to appear in the right place...!
After half an hour the sun burst through for about a minute, full strength and the shots were in the bag. I lingered a while longer but knew I had captured the image I required.

Working on the images afterwards I was reminded of an earlier image, AG 154, which I called "Creation" and which sold out on the limited edition print of 100. On sales to date it looks as though this picture AG337 might prove to be just as popular with collectors of my work.
