Storm and Beach (01/2005) Photo Gallery by Peter De Rycke at pbase.com

Storm and Beach (01/2005)

How the beach looks just after the strongest winds have passed, and before the high tide has reached this section to wash everything away again : true art of nature !! The most beautiful patterns i ever encountered..
Again: i was lucky to go there on the right moment ..

athomas	PM reply	05-Sep-2006 03:14
Very strong art/images/captures. You have a great eye and composition skills, and I also admire the mind that was able to see the value and beauty in such a nominal subject. The appearance is as if you were in a hovering spacecraft, shooting a moon or a dead planet

Brian McKay	PM reply	27-Aug-2006 21:34

Great photography complimenting Mother Nature.

Kees Terberg	PM reply	03-Jul-2006 17:27
Stunning indeed. The true aestetics of nature. Small shells remain where the wind has swept away the base. Beautiful elements that in a nutshell reveal how wind works. The beauty of natural patterns and texture. The monochrome choice is fantastic. V

Michael Shpuntov	PM reply	06-Aug-2005 16:18
This is one of the most creative galleries. Great idea and perfect realization. It looks great in B&W and I'm not questioning your choice, just thinking how it will be looking in colors.

Very nice! As you said you were at the right place at the right time...But without your composition and printing they would not have been as nice.

Yes you were lucky to be there at the right moment, but it wasn't luck that produced these supurb compostitions.

Peter De Rycke	PM reply	10-Feb-2005 16:37
Thank you Adam, it was exceptional, never saw such a similar 3D spectacle before... The shells were raised surely up to 5cm at places...

Shaun Lowe	PM reply	09-Feb-2005 18:10
Amazing, Peter. Well done.

bruce berrien	PM reply	08-Feb-2005 21:03
What a fascinating series of images. Great find, Peter - very well seen and recognized.

Guest	PM reply	03-Feb-2005 09:34
Peter - these are fantastic. I remember as a child walking on some very windswept beaches where the pebbles and shells would be left slightly raised from the sand level - but only ever by a few mm. How high were these raised? You have some very beautiful compositions of flowing lines here. Wonderful - Adam

Luc VN	PM reply	24-Jan-2005 12:28
Great Gallery, very graphic. Composition is cool also. I only have one comment if I may: The repetion of almost similar pics hurts the total gallery (IMHO) Rgds

Sam R.		24-Jan-2005 11:26
Het moet gezegd worden: bij sommige plaatjes lijkt het alsof ik van op de maan naar het surrealistische landschap in Kapadokya (Turkije) kijk. Prachtig album; ongelooflijk dat de natuur ook in een mum van tijd dergelijk surrealistische, doch prachtige eenvoud kan cre�ren, waar een mens kan blijven naar kijken! Zwart/wit is hierbij ook een h�le goede keuze. Petje af voor dit werk ;-) Greetzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, Sam R.

Lu�s Pereira	PM reply	19-Jan-2005 23:24
Ya Peter, you're right. You have captured a great moment. Wonderful natural textures! Congrats
