Daisy Days: Beach Huts in France

It has been a while but with the summer here I feel it is time to catch up with summer images and continue with my trip to Normandie. Having Andy as scout for the region we were able to plan content. The Beach Huts were at Carteret on the west coast. Daisy as expected was immaculate and chose contrasting outfits to go with the blue and white huts. There were joggers everywhere to avoid and a French gentleman who wanted to be photographed with Daisy (very strange). We declined. The geometrics of the huts plus the pattern created plenty of interest.

 

Cee and Seaside

After a large gap from shooting together Cee and I arranged a shoot. Having been told about the improvements to the beach area of Littlehampton I checked out images and it was ideal. Waking up in the morning it was cloudy but rather than cancel we went ahead. On reaching Littlehampton early to check everything out I could see the sky clearing out to see and by the time we were ready to shoot it was perfect and the tide was out making the sea a quarter of a mile away giving a huge expanse to play with. Cee was as usual in great form. Chatting and shooting on the beach was a great start. We then moved to the newly painted beach huts. The vibrant colours just jumped. and we had a play with shapes and colours. From here we moved on to the World's Longest Bench. It has been sculptured into curves at each end. Perfect indeed but shooting was a task and in order to get detail in Cee I had to over-expose by two stops. Results were brilliant. Finally we used a amphitheatre dish which was great for atmosphere and movement. All complete we sat down at the very funky beach cafe for a very deserved drink. Just enjoy!
