Rocks

[Black Pearl]

A week off and its vile out - typical.

 

Still, I took the dog down the beach and while my head was down warding of the horizontal rain I spotted a couple of nice looking rocks.

Back home, coffee machine on, heater running full blast in the conservatory and out came the camera.

My mate is borrowing my macro lens for the Nikon so these were taken with a Pentax 55-200mm on the K30 - pretty much as close as it would focus.

 

 

 

The first is two shots stitched together hence the strange OOF area to the top left.

Fantastic pair. Was the first one more or less a black and white rock to start with? I love the yellow blob (dessicated limpet?) on the second. A real colour detonator.

[FUJI]

Both good, but the second shot is a real winner.

( Damn!........You have beach to walk in bad weather......I just get town roads, and a small park........the fields are just too slippery for old legs.......just got back from a two miler, nothing but drizzle all the way round. :-( )

So simple, yet so effective!

[Black Pearl]

The original colour was a brownish....

 

 

....but decided I didn't like it and went for a mono conversion.

 

 

Not sure what the 'blob' is on the second one but it was that that caught my eye as I was wandering along the beach.

both nice, I will say BP I prefer the colour version I think the reflection in the water is stronger.

[Kobione]

Nice, BP, I actually prefer the colour version too, but only because the colour would suit my wall!!

[Black Pearl]

Hmmmmmm

 

Still prefer the mono one - but thats me - though I do like the unusual colours....kind of the reason I picked up the rock.

 

It's sitting on a granite placemat by the way not water. Our dining room table has granite panel....don't ask...and these match.

Actually, I like them both, but I think I'd want to see some added grain in the conversion?
