The colours of the sea

I have been having a look at a few pictures taken from a recent trip to Falmouth and see that once again I have several pictures of the coast! What’s lovely about them is the way the different colours conjure up different moods of the sea.

Red sky at night, photographers delight!

Finally, not a picture postcard photograph but one of my favourites reminding me of some of my photography heroes such as Joel Meyerowitz and his images taken around Cape Cod and also the work of American legend William Eggleston for his excellent use of colour within his photographs. Anyhow, here is my effort of the glamorously named Gasworks car park, Falmouth.

    The colors in the sunset photos are wonderful, but I think the first photo is my favorite – so ominous!

    Hello ! I don’t know if my message will reach you… but
    I’m a french cinema teacher and I would like to use your photograph “A misty Gasworks car park, Falmouth” for a sound exercise. Can I have the permission to use it ? I would just show it to my workshop’s participants. Thanks
