Mid-week Monochrome #123

I have a soft spot for black and white photography, I also have a sweet spot for the ocean and waves. I can sit for hours and I watch the movement of of the water.

As I have been editing my beach photos lately, I did try to convert them to black and white, and I believe that the beauty and power of the moving water even without the colors comes across. Here are few photos from Ocean Ridge beach.

B&W Edits #1

Sitting on the the Negombo beach I watched wind surfers do their magic. Looking at the photos again I thought they would look good also with a B&W edit. What do you think?

The colors of beach

Cypress Point Club beach

I love watching the ocean, the waves, changing colors of blue and green. The warm sand underneath my toes. Sun.

Sydney~7 ~Bondi Beach

In Sydney, you have to see to Bondi Beach, right, after a busy day of seeing sights in the city we decided to see if for ourselves. We ended up staying there only for few hours. We sat watching the waves and surfers. I don’t know how they do it… the surfers.

the beautiful blues of the ocean

the surfers caught my eye …for a reason

Then came the clouds.

and slowly passed the beach

We left the beach with the rainbow behind us.

Bandon Beach, Oregon

Bandon-by-the-sea is a small, charming coastal town with the most lovely beach. Here are some of my photos from there.

Rhythem – my search for it

Rytmi – haasteessa oli tarkoitus löytää rytmiä valokuva kohteista. Ohessa minun rytmini, on jazzia, marssimusiikkia sekä hip hoppia…

Rhythm – the challenge was to find a rhythm in the photography subjects.. Here is my visual rhythms, , the jazz, marching music, and hip hop .

Minun yhteys maailmaan vahvistuu aaltojen rytmistä  ( pienistä laineista tai aallokosta)

… Onnellisuudessa  ei ole kyse intensiteetistä vaan tasapainosta ja järjestyksen ja rytmin ja harmonian välillä.

My connection to the earth is reinforced through the rhythm of the waves, (small waves or the surf)

  Happiness is not a matter of intensity but of balance and order and rhythm and harmony.
