[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is taken a while ago, believe it or not, this is my first time to 90 miles beach up in Bay of Islands, its ashame that it was so windy that I can't see far as the wind blow up all the sands in the air.

I still manage to take some shots... as I really attract by the clouds formation.

Amazing skies convey the windy day atmosphere very well!

Hi Seety,
This is a superb lanscape shot , the sky is just perfect and the two silhouetes look so lost in this gigantic space.
Well done.

A wonderful sense of infinity,were time and space doesn't exist...
bravo
Edie

WOW, Sweety!!
The sense of movement, of the strong wind on our faces is so vivid! I thought that these formations were sand clouds, until I read your notes. :)
Nice idea to use B&W effect here. It makes it more emotional with the silhouettes on the background!
Very well done!

nice image, very well composed. probably I miss the colours here a bit and B&W would not have been my choice for this one, however, it looks really nice and calm image and actually B&W makes it interesting! not ordinary.
well done and TFS!

Very beautiful B/N landscape.. The cloudy are fantastic. TFS.

Those clouds are amazing! It remind me of a white veil floating on the air! Great shot, Sweety!

I missed this one Sweety. Another super shot of 90m Mile Beach. It looks so good in B&W. Not too sure about the peole being placed right in the centre, but I like it.
Good one,
Janice

Beautiful, I love this shot. The sky looks so amazing, powerful and expansive! I like how the sky makes the figures on the beach look so insignificant in comparison. Very nice!

Quite a few things are difficult to catch in a photo. For me, one of them is "wind".
So I'm quite impressed with your effort - and success - in capturing wind, Sweety. A magnificent seascape, excellent composition and boy, what a sky!
Conversion to b&w was a good idea, no colours to distract us from the subject.
Very well done, TFS.
