A day at the beach
It was a glorious day yesterday, sunny, blue skies, white fluffy clouds and after a frustrating day or two, I decided it was to be a day at the beach: a day for relaxing, so I headed down to Lower Bay on Bequia, which is one of the most beautiful beaches the country has to offer.
Its long expanse of golden sand, a sandy-bottomed bay provides the turquoise backdrop and while its still 'out of season', there are few people around so you get the place to yourself. Well almost.
It didn't take too long for the relaxing day to be interrupted by the waves crashing in and surging up the beach, forming some great scenes that I fancied capturing, so I headed off and setup the camera. I went back to the same driftwood log/tree trunk that I found last week during a passing storm, but the weather was so much better today.
Once setup I played around with filters to get the effect I was after - water streaking down the beach around the log.
It was a hot day, and after it all, I got some great images, but also got sunburnt badly. The moral for today: remember to keep applying the suntan lotion!
