That’s me in the corner, that’s me in the spot-light…

            Crosby Beach, Sefton, Liverpool

Not quite me but our resident prop and all-round good egg – Geoff.

One of the very few occasions that a photoshoot was very nearly called off but for Mike who had already made the journey there. So glad we didn’t back out. 

Here’s the controversial bit…
What’s the difference between a photographer and the rest… the weather!
We were the only four people on the beach in these conditions, apart from a couple of dog walkers. No smartphone selfie-takers here. And that’s the difference, it takes a certain dedication… and madness to make the effort and persevere in such conditions. What appears as bland and dull takes more imagination to produce an image out of nothing. I’ll guarantee you will see four different takes on this location even thought we were all stood in close proximity to each other.
