All I can say is my Lumix point and shoot was on a very strange setting when I took this photo. I blame the gale that was blowing along Seaton Beach, though you’d hardly know it by the ‘frozen-in-time’ look of this shot.

Cutting edge science you can dice with
I can feel the breeze and smell the salt water. Wonderful Tish.
Thank you 🙂
However oddly your camera was behaving, the result is heaven, Tish. Wonderful sepia mauve.
You are so very kind, Sarah. Glad you like it. I do too 🙂
Blown away by the blown out highlights
Yes blown all over the place. I think it was on ISO1600. Yikes!
I love this. It captures the mood so much more than a ‘conventional’ shot
Thank you, Su. I like it when the camera does its own thing. Well sometimes I do.
Life would be much poorer without those little accidents — or serendipities, as I like to think of them when I don’t delete them 🙂
Just what I think too 🙂
I would agree, it’s all about mood!
This is gorgeous. It has a wonderful textured look, Tish. 🙂
I was wondering which Seaton you meant, we have one in Devon and I believe there’s one way up north somewhere, I’m glad you tagged it!
It’s the Cornish Seaton, not too far south of Torpoint and the Tamar Valley. Took the photo on Boxing Day.
Seaton Delaval/Seaton Sluice. In Northumberland. I lived near there so I thought Tish meant that one initially.
The mauve tint gives a very cold, wintery atmosphere to this scene.
I think it was me who was mauve. The wind was very fierce 🙂
Brrrrr…
I love the feel of this photo, Tish. It feels like an Andrew Wyeth painting.

Thank you, Janet. And thank you ISO 1600 🙂
Excellent chance result – you shouldn’t have said anything – I would have applauded your post-processing 😉
🙂
This’s wonderful, Tish , a photo that can be captured just once in a while M
🙂 Anna.
If you hadn’t said gale, I would never have guessed. But the scene is one that can be looked at for a while…
I feel it rather draws you in like a sponge soaking up moisture. But that’s perhaps too sinister a thought.
That’s a fabulous photo – almost like a painting. Beautiful.
