"Martian landscape (HDR)"
Woolacombe Bay, North Devon

Positioning myself between the two rocks really added to the composition of this shot. The triple exposure really emphasised the surreal sunset.

"The edge (HDR)"
Woolacombe Bay, North Devon

Trickles of water and the texture of the beach as the tide dashed back out was the motive here, and I used three exposures to emphasise movement, colour and balance.

"Fortress (HDR)"
Woolacombe Bay, North Devon

The texture of these rocks backlit by the strong sunset needed emphasising, so I took three shots at various speeds and combined them to produce the strong image.

"Oz beckons (HDR)"
Woolacombe Bay, North Devon

The soft whirling mist in the distance combined with the bright colours on this HDR shot reminded me of a scene out of the Wizard of Oz - the lure of the golden gates just over the horizon.

"Distorted path (HDR)"
Spekes Mill Mouth, North Devon

This was shot on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean on a miserable day. I like the depth in this shot and the strong contrasts beckoned for it to be in black and white.

"Planet Rock (HDR)"
Woolacombe Bay, North Devon

Another surreal HDR shot where I really wanted to bring out the smoothness of the slippery rocks. I used a very short focal distance to portray the depth.

I love the composition in these shots which balance out the barrenness of the foreground with the warm colours of the sun setting in the distance.
