Come and enjoy a Windansea Sunset in La Jolla, California

Image by Sam Antonio Photography
I spent most of last year photographing in foreign countries. As a result, sometimes I forget how beautiful my hometown of San Diego, California really is. So this will be the start of my new San Diego series. I hope you enjoy it.

Windansea Beach is located in La Jolla which is a community of San Diego, California. It’s very popular with local surfers (who happen to be very territorial) and is one of the best places in San Diego to watch a sunset.

Windansea is a hidden gem of San Diego and I do mean hidden. For those visiting from out of town it maybe a little difficult to find. No problem, just follow the La Jolla coastline until you find the famous palm-covered surf shack.

I photographed this young woman watching the sun kiss the Pacific Ocean as time transcended once more from day into night.

By the way, that’s the famous palm-covered surf shack to help orient yourself if you decide to visit my lovely hometown and seek the sunset at Windansea.

Happy Travels!

Country Shack 1993

Image by Martin Beek
These paintings began in America from the summer of 1990 with the onset of the first Gulf War. They look at America from the point of view of an outsider.
" Everyone has their own image of America. For the most part it is the people, 'the Americans'. who capture our imagination. Be they presidents, film stars, wrestlers or Wall Street financiers, they absorb, appeal to and appall us. the stage upon which these players strut hardly figures at all. however, it is this stage or landscape that is the chief subject of most of Martin Beek's paintings. People, when they feature, are by no means insignificant but they occupy a small part in the scheme of things, His paintings seem to me to fall into two distinct categories. In the one he depicts that secret America: the largely unexplored and certainly uninhabited countryside of forest and rolling plain; the fearsome emptiness of the New Mexican desert the lush jungle either side of the Mississippi the cold sweep of a British Colombia Lakeside. These paintings are not cosy, railway waiting room art. Like the landscape of the United States and Canada, the images presented are exciting and grand. In what appears to be an entirely different body of work and one which incidentally has not been shown in Britain or America before, Martin depicts the quintessential American Mid-West small town with the comfortable images of library, school, church, twisting river and pleasant green. Here Beek's America is quiet and orderly despite being set in technicoloured aspic. It is a tapestry, fantasy world viewed somewhere above the fluttering Stars and Stripes, where like some sort of benevolent god, he shifts the familiar images around from painting to painting. Beek in these recent works acknowledges the influence of American folk artists Grandma Moses and Grant Wood as Europeans Breughel and Gauguin but the boldness and vibrancy of his colours, whether he is working in oil pastel or water-colours, are all his own making."

Dungeness 21-04-2012

Image by Karen Roe
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name given to a “village” situated along the beach, and to an important ecological site on the same location. It is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife.

Dungeness is not truly a village, more a scattered collection of dwellings. Some of the homes, small wooden houses in the main, many built around old railway coaches, are owned and lived in by fishermen, whose boats lie on the beach; some are occupied by people trying to escape the pressured outside world. The shack-like properties have a high value on the property market.

Perhaps the most famous house is Prospect Cottage, formerly owned by the late artist and film director Derek Jarman. The cottage itself is painted black, with a poem, part of John Donne's “The Sunne Rising”, written on one side in black lettering. The garden however is the main attraction. Reflecting the bleak, windswept landscape of the peninsula, Derek Jarman's garden is made of pebbles, driftwood, scrap metal and a few hardy plants.

There is a remarkable and unique variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant (a third of all those found in Britain). It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain. The short-haired bumblebee, declared extinct in the UK nearly a decade ago, but which has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago, is to be reintroduced at Dungeness in the spring of 2010.

Boy am I sure glad I save all the frames from the past on DVD's; You never know when you might want to process an old set. Such is the case with this set. A special thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Evans for giving me access to this wonderful vista!

Taken last spring on our trip out to Maine, this image epitomizes what Maine is all about - the harvest of the sea. All those little colorful buoys up there next to that fishing shack are lobster buoys. Not sure how many of you out there like lobster, but the lobster that comes out of this water tastes so delicious, it doesn't even need butter and tastes and smells of the wonderful aroma of salt water. The last time we were there (actually, every time we're there), we ate lobster that had been out of the water no longer than an hour! How's that for fresh!

About this image: the processing was remarkably difficult being that I had a single RAW (.nef) frame from this angle on that day. It's one of those cases when I'm thinking...."Why the heck didn't I bracket nine(9)!!!"

Photomatix 3.1.1>Lightroom 2.0: clarity, contrast, blacks, vibrance, and a little bit of sharpening>CS4: LAB curves adjustment on the A and B channels and sharpening on the luminosity layer>Lightroom 2.0: export to jpeg.

I wish you could have been there...

Beach Shack w/ hunt items

Image by ceoln
So here is the little beach shack that I built, along the same general lines as the beach house in the last image. As someone pointed out, it's sort of like the shack I had all those months ago back on PIER (which turns out to be Anubis Barnesworth's Bali house, by the way), only here I was going for a more sea-bleached feeling.

I've been unpacking from various hunts. :) The ground and trees and stone path are a single big object from the Strawberry Box, whence comes also the two seats on the front porch there. In fact I think pretty much everything in that picture except me and the house are from there, so I really ought to bother giving a link, let's see: The Strawberry Box @ The Cookie Jar. There ya go. :)

Shack for Rent in Singapore

Image by davidwjford
I went out tonight hoping to take some photographs of my local area at night. As I was walking down the nearest street, I happened upon this shack with the "for rent" sign. I had recently been talking with my wife and some friends about the state of the housing in Singapore and how expensive apartments have become and this image just resonated with me. There's a little post-processing done in LR2, but it's pSOOC (practically Straight-Out-Of-the-Camera).
