I can now understand what you lot mean when you tell me you had to wait for the right conditions to take your shots.
I had to wait until the tide went fully out for this one.
A splendid idea as I discovered.
Especially when there is a pub nearby to do your waiting in !!

If it gets covered by the water, I wouldn't want to tread on that by mistake, ouch.
The wait was worthwhile, Mick.

The sea water is taking its toll and supplying you with great material here Mick, do you check out the tide times and deliberately arrive two hours before. - gary

I'm surprised Mike to hear you were more interested in "schooner" beer or guiness glasses (15 fl oz's known in UK as "pints") than you were of the nautical "schooners". I'm surprised you could still focus after 2 hours, but then again you may be as conditioned as I am to bending the elbow - oh, top shot by the way Wink ...Bill

I too have found that it's easier to photograph things when they're not submerged. I've also found that it's easier for me to photograph things when I'M not submerged. Which brings me to the pub Smile Good pub?

This is incredibly sharp, Mick, especially considering the pre-pic-pub-pop-in.
