Now I am a person who owns more cameras than is possibly humanly decent. 14 at last count; but only 3 in active use; I just cannot bear to part with old friends. And my newest friend is a Canon 60D; usually to be found with a 55-250 IS zoom on, though from time to time a 10-20. And my standard setup is to shoot 3 bracketed shots, +2/3,-1/3,-1.3. Which is fine except when shooting fast changing subjects such as waves, when I switch to continuous shooting, try a few trial shots to get the aperture right, and then just let it rip. But back to the standard … and it is usually the underexposed shots that appeal to me; strong contrasts, strong colours (just call me Mr Kodachrome). Then one day I was at Rhossili (S Wales) and overlooking the bay. And somehow it was the overexposed shots that appealed, giving an ethereal lightness to the patterns of the long waves, the sand and the groups of people. This image is one of many from that day; and there is that added intriguing question of the man in black, fully clothed, shoes, and walking purposefully into the sea. Shades of the Rise and Fall of Reggie Perrin (the original with Leonard Rossiter is my preference). Oh and it was taken with an old 70-350 (from my 35mm days). And the lesson; the usual isn’t always right.
