Ravine & Rocky Bay, Bequia
A second trip to one of the more easily accessible bays 'off the beaten track' here on Bequia. That of Ravine Beach and Rocky Bay.
I wanted to go back, as my previous visit had been with friends, walking, and I needed the sun to come round further to light up the rocks and cliffs of the headland between the two bays.
When I arrived, I had the bay to myself, but not for long, as a group of young people came down, with machete's, knives and diving gear, as they off to the headland to fish, or to hunt Iguana. One of whom, left a great pattern of footprints in the sand for me, thank you!
One of the reasons I wanted to return was to get some images of one point, in the headland between Ravine and Rocky Bay, as the sea had washed up a collection of colours rocks and boulders, which along with the coloured cliffs, made for a colourful scene.
As the sea wasn't too choppy today, I decided to use the Lee Big Stopper (ND110) to try and slow the motion down, using everything at my disposal; polarising filters, ISO, the Big Stopper and also a second filter, anything to stop the light getting in.
As I headed round the headland, Rocky Bay too looked great, with the waves lapping the rocks and running off the ledges.
