Abbie has carefully chosen her position here to accentuate the parallel lines created by the seaweed, waves and rocks which take the eye through the picture.

By keeping low and pointing the camera a little towards the sun, Adam had caught the play of light on the blades of grass.


Adam_4

Adam captured the movement and made use of the technique of trying to get your darkest shade and lightest light together for effect.


Alex_1

Alex_1

Alex chose his angle with care here to get the curve of the wall leading the eye through to the vanishing point. He also captured the strong contrast between the colour of the sea and the shade created by the wall.


Alex_3

Alex followed the blue cross code and made sure his centre of interest, Fort Hommet, and horizon were off centre.


Eleni_4

Eleni used the gap in the wall to frame her photograph and the strong contrast between light and shade for dramatic effect.


Faye_and_Gavin1

Faye_and_Gavin1

Unlike Alex and Luc, Faye and Gavin used a high angle to capture the pattern of the groynes and the way the incoming waves mirrored the shape of the wall.


Jack4

Jack went out on the rocks and waited patiently for the wave to break and spray in the air. Notice how he also made sure he had detail in the foreground to add interest.


Jack_w1

By using a high angle and facing the sun Jack created a moody landscape capturing the sweep of the landscape.


Jack_w2

The camera position close to the wall acts as a frame and leads the eye into the picture.


Lottie_3

The seaweed and shape of the rocks lead your eye through this photo. Note the strong contrast between the sky and rocks for dramatic effect.


Louisa_2

Louisa spotted the possibilities for a composition focussing on the texture of the granite wall and the contrast of the white buildings standing out against the green slope.


Luc_1

Luc_1

Luc chose a low angle to emphasise the swell of the incoming tide and waited patiently to capture the spray of the breaking wave.


Luc_4

Luc_4

Luc chose to take this from down low to really capture the colour and detail of the blades of grass.
