Raves & Rants . . from Penzance

So that's it for 2010, here's some wintry Sennen shots from the recent snow.  If you're reading this tomorrow, then Happy New Year. Sennen Cove Sennen beach, with Cape Cornwall in the distance  Sennen hill surfing  Penlee Park  Penzance Promenade Return to Ocean-Image.com

With all the spices going into the mulled wine this time of year, it reminded me of one of surfing's most iconic commercial uses in the 1970's Old Spice adverts.  If you know who shot the surf footage, or who the surfers are, please get in touch, I'd love to know. Festive Greetings to you, hope you have a Spicy one. Return to Ocean-Image.com

I love getting in the water to shoot surfing, it gives such a fresh perspective on what is really going on in the water.   Today was also fantastically bright, which helps with getting faster shutter speeds to freeze the action.  Porthleven today Freezing was the buzz word today, with a near zero air temperature and blocks of ice for feet after a long session swimming about in the water ensuring that hobbling across the barnacled reef afterwards was like stepping on red hot knives.  But a brilliant blue sky day with sparkling clear light and some great colours.
