Deadwood on the Beach

A winters day walk down to the Tyne Estuary as the tide was receding is the perfect way to unwind.  On the beach near Skittery Burn there are a lot of dead trees along the shoreline where the woods meets the water.  Over the years the beach has encroached into the woods, washing away the soil from the roots of the pines, eventually felling the trees.  The roots and trunks of these dead trees litter the shore and provide a great subject for black and white images.

The shot at the top of the page was taken on the X-T1 with a Lee 10x ND filter fitted to give an exposure time of 80 seconds.  This produced the movement in clouds that were approaching the coast from inland. 

The next set of images were also shot on the X-T1 and Fujinon 10-24mm f4 wide angle zoom and then converted to mono in NIK Silver Efex Pro2 software.
