Thanks: Gave 472, Got 430 | Fantastic Skies down by the Firth of Forth
Weather was, what the joe public would call, pretty horrible yesterday. However fast moving clouds and a stiff breeze meant condition were ripe for some moody photography.
So, dodging the showers, I took a cycle down to Portobello beach to see the sea.
The first I am extremely happy with I just don't think the conditions could have been better for it. More than worth nearly getting stranded by the incoming tide

The amazing sky that was heading my way about 20mins later.

All comments etc most welcome

Couple of nice pics there. You have to be careful with those tides, I learnt the hard way from that it's the submerged rocks that done me when the tide came in and I tried to get back.

both very nice photos interesting colouring in #1 and i think it works well.
not sure but #1 would maybe work even better with a slightly longer exposure to make the front whiteness of the waves coming up the beach slightly more flowing and fluffy

Excellent. I particularly like the first - it draws you in very well.

What is that strange pole object at the end of the break/barrier in the 2nd photo? Is it a marker for boats?
EDIT - oh yeah, forgot to mention they're nice shots, but you knew that already.

Thanks everybody.
