Photography > Seafront

Seasfront Photography is the art of capturing the never ending battle between land and sea. We can use these two fantastic elements to our advantage and through the use of shutter speed we can highlight their differences and play with the effect to create a more dramatic image.

The contrast between the solid never moving cliffs or rocks and the swirling and spraying of the wild sea can result in amazing images. By applying the correct techniques, the solid ground can act as an anchor in the image being both sharp and in focus, while the water and clouds, if the conditions are right, can create a magical motion blur.
