Minehead - Part II - A Walk Along the Seafront

Well after lazing around on the terrace all day we went for a walk along to the harbour and down towards the beach (the opposite direction from Butlins!) to get away from the people and get a bit of fresh air and exercise.

It was a nice walk, along by the harbour, the lifeboat station and down along the beach.

Crashing Waves

This is one of my favourite pics I've ever taken.

This is the lenghts I go to to take photographs...jumping up until my Jeans koyak!

This would be my second favourite, Minehead Harbour.

It was a nice walk, gave my Mom some pointers on how to use her camera aswell, it's great to go for a walk without feeling like you are having a sauna at the same time.

Part III might take a while as I'm flying to Philippines tomorrow early morning, I had a busy weekend trying out my new kit, Excellent! Macro is fun! Will post something on DigiSniper.

That's a huge hole in your jeans. Be careful walking around like that, the girls may not be able to resist.

Note: All your England pictures remind me of Half-Life 2, is Gabe Newell from England? hmmm

I actually like the photo of the rusty boat, would look good in black and white. The place and photos seem so perfect and surreal. . .

James: Yah I had to be careful, they were all checking me out!

Matthew: Thanks, I'd have to enter first Faster buy an SLR, regarding your message the other day I tried to e-mail but the mail you are using for comments isn't valid.

pik: Thanks

Applegal: I had the same thought as you, I haven't had time to do a nice B&W conversion on it yet though, I was thinking it'd look really good.

KY: Bit heavy, they are quite large heh.

Jim: You can find large versions here & here.

Thanks all

I am thinking about selling prints actually, what do you think would be a good fair price for a large nicely framed print behind glass? RM300-400? That's about medium range I think.

"This is one of my favourite pics I've ever taken."

This is the only few pics with nice clouds. The rest of your pics is mostly clear blue sky! I still think blue sky is awesome.

aprilcherrie: Thanks I like them all this series

pablopabla: Yah but remember photos can be deceptive, it's all in the eye of the photographer.

Hijackqueen: Yah rain was coming next day so the clouds were coming.

Kuzco: Buy them when I print some
