A windy day on Perran Bay

Wonderful moody scene.

magic mood, you can feel the wind

I thought it was snow at first Herb! It was like that on the beach at Bude, but I was worried about my camera, so put it away ;-)) Fab picture....I wish I had kept my camera handy now!!
Regards, Rosa.

Ah yes, one has to be careful with theses camera's. I am normally wearing a big zipped fleece jacket and so i tuck the camera inside whilst the strap is still around my neck and then pull it out to compose and shot before tucking it back. I must admit to liking this capture too.

Cheers, Herb

Da hat man den Strand fast in der Wohnung

Yes, it must be difficult keeping the windows clean here.

Well captured. I thought it was snow too! I can just feel that blowing sand stinging my bare legs!

Yes, we could feel it on our faces here but it was not too bad nearer the sea.

Cheers for the call. Herb

Well captured, Herb. As Annemarie noted, you can almost feel the wind here.

Aye, sometimes a snap can capture the real feeling.

Cheers, Herb

Been for many a windy walk here with an old girlfriend from Perranporth!

A great place to walk, especially when that big expansive beach is uncovered. I have a few shots from here so might well post more. Glad this brought memories back Andy.

Cheers. Herb

On a windy day and a huge dune(?) nearby...it looks like a desert sandstorm
Superb capture and image, Herb!

Yes, a few large dunes here which I would have liked to take more photos off but there was just too much blowing sand for all that. Glad you liked it.

Regards, Herb

Wow! This is an amazing shot Herb..........if it wasn't for the red poo bin and the houses you could almost imagine being in a desert in the middle of a sand-storm!

In fact the houses and the bin make the whole scene feel a bit surreal.......but I love it..!!

Hi again Keith and once again I am delighted that this has reached the spot. This has been taken through my longest lens at 300mm crop (450mm full frame equivalent) and so it shows the houses a little closer than they were in reality but gives a real feeling. The red bin made for a focal point here. Cheers for the call. Herb

I like using long lenses for landscape work.........sometimes you can get some great effects as your shot shows.

Hi Herb looks like a desert sandstorm something different with just a touch of red like a lot.

Good that you popped by to accompany me in the sand. I felt like singing 'My Desert is waiting..." (From The Desert Song - musical). Anyway......... Glad you enjoyed it (without the singing).

Cheers, Herb

A great capture Herb a pity you missed the camels !!!!!! A weather sealed lens and camera and a UV filter should be good

I've been in a situation like that Herb and like you, tucked the camera in my jacket and took it out when I was ready. It didn't seem to bother the camera but my face was stinging!

This is another of your great captures Herb, just a shame that Wilson and Keppel weren't around to do the sand dance!!

A bit of sand -blasting, Herb! It looks very wild.
Keep well!

Excellent capture!
Quite a sand storm! One feels like in the Sahara desert!
