Sony Winter - the best time to visit the beach

Some shots from a day on the Gower peninsula in South Wales. Some with Color Efex Pro, some Silver Efex Pro.

Setting the scene: looking down on Rhossili beach

Wreckage: seriously well embedded in the sand

I like the feeling of solitude in peaceful surroundings. I favor the last 4 of the set in terms of composition. Nice set, makes me want to be there.

I imagine not a lot of swimmers this time of year.

Nicely done.

Hehe, nope, didn't see a single one. It may have been blue skies but at about 5 deg C with a reasonable breeze it was woolly hat and gloves weather. Even the dogs weren't venturing into the water

You are right in my neck of the woods with these I've known them since birth

I grew up and continue to live on the New Jersey Shore (which we simply the Jersey Shore) and I can attest to the beauty and peace at the beach during the winter. Great work, with the RX100, Martin. I have my eye on a Mark III but the original is still a great pocket camera - and a bargain these days.
