My last post detailed what I am doing with my camera in order to achieve some photographic abstract effects deliberately. I thought it would be good to describe - and also show a couple more pictures to illustrate - how I am just as capable of getting things wrong accidentally as anyone else is.

Offshore Mists
Yesterday morning was looking to bring a fine day. Even by 9am on a Sunday families were already occupying their little territories of the receding beach at Crackington as the tide was heading for one of its high points for the day.

Cornish landscape colours
Having tried out some deliberate camera movement pictures down at the coast pretty successfully, I was keen to apply the technique to some landscape.
