Yesterday I took my camera with a 50mm lens into the surf at porthtowan, the waves were small but perfectly formed. I love the short depth of field that can be achieved using the 50mm lens. It can be tricky to get the focus and framing right whilst dodging waves but this makes it all the more satisfying when I do get the shot i'm looking for.
This is my latest 'Surfscape' collage, Kynance Cove. Its created from paper that I painted and then cut and stuck. Both the original collage and prints can be bought on my website. This view of Kynance cove on the Lizard Peninsula in Cornwall can be seen from the footpath leading down to the beach. If you haven't visited Kynance before I highly recommend it. It's a really unique place with its turquoise water colour set off against the dark serpentine rocks. You may even spot a seal or two if you're lucky. There's also a cafe overlooking the beach complete with...
I've just finished framing my newest collage 'Lots of Waves'. It's and intricate collage of wave and coastal scenes, rich in texture and detail.

A couple of weeks ago some clear weather and a small clean swell coincided to make perfect surf photo conditions. I went for a swim with my camera at Perranporth and captured some of the barreling waves as they hit the low tide sandbar. For a while it was just me and an inquisitive seal in the water which all added to the experience. I've added three of my favourite photos from that day to my website. They're all available in three sizes and three types of frame. Click here to go to the photography section of my online shop
