New year - new style

My photography has evolved in the last 12 months particularly. I use it to relax and convey calm, but until now have not particularly displayed this side of my image making. I have always taken images that try to provoke thought and emotion and this year will be taking fewer images of the documentary type of landscape and displaying more of the images I have been making for myself. Therefore I will be displaying colour as well as monochrome. However I am not a great fan of the somewhat cliche over saturated colours of the majority of colour landscapes, although some of the natural skies can be very bright at times.

Terpsichore I
Scarborough North Bay
D800E 16-35 @26mm 1/6@f16

This is one of a series of images I am working on inspired by The Muse Terpsichore. I love the light and reflections in this. Some of the sandy beaches on the Yorkshire coast are flat enough to have a sheen of water that is great for reflections and I often use this in my images of the coast. On this day the beach was full of people, mainly walking their dogs. The south end of the north bay is usually quieter and has areas of wet sand that reflect and I knew I would be able to grab this image. I like the slight blur in the people which helps to anonymise them.
