The sea is blue isn’t it? Well, it is if it is deep or if it is reflecting the blue sky. When the water is shallow, it looks clear. If the water is flowing over sand then a photograph of the subject will be predominantly yellow. Natural patterns of reflected light on the edges of the waves, wind-driven ripplets, and on the seabed, are a network of white lines on the neutral background. Somehow, the negative images as shown here emphasise the patterns and maybe look more attractive. These pictures were taken at Knoll Beach on Studland Bay in Dorset, England. Click the images to enlarge and see the details. Each image captures a fleeting moment in the fast-moving and constantly changing kaleidoscopic reflection patterns on the water’s edge.
Love the colour and patterns.
I wouldn’t have thought of looking at the negative version of the image. Very interesting!
Thank you, Beautywhizz.
I always like to investigate the digitally artistic possibilities of my pattern photographs.
That’s a fantastic idea for bringing out those wonderful patterns – negative thinking at its most positive! RH
Thank you for that positive feedback, Rolling Harbour.
