The Black Piper of Bean Point

As day's end drew near, he made his appearance. Determined and purposeful, across the dunes he strode and down onto the beach. The piper in black. All in black. Pipes o' black, Glengarry o' black, kilt o' black, and sandals o' black.

And then, he gloriously piped the sun down ...

Landsharks

 "Look up, look down, look all around" ... a very good bit of advice for all photographers.

As photographers we are always on the lookout for the next image, camera in hand or not. For some of us it is literally a constant preoccupation ... Whether we are out with the intent to photograph or not.

'Always being on the lookout' at it's full extent includes maintaining a 360* awareness. So often, it is all too easy to become fixated on one particular subject or in on direction. Say you're walking along the beach early one morning looking at the horizon, trying to capture the colours of sunrise in the sky over breaking waves. Concentrating on those oh so very subtle shades of pink and orange in the sky opposite to the sun, waiting for that optimum moment when they are at their peak, you may miss ... the Landsharks at your feet !
