The Serenity of Seascape Photography

I am very fortunate to live in Devon as it gives me easy access to the (roughly) 365 square miles of Dartmoor National Park. It’s a photography location with almost limitless opportunities to craft beautiful compositions and to create inspiring photographs.

While I spend much of my photography life wandering Dartmoor and capturing photographs there, I all too often ignore the coast along the southern edge of Devon. This is done on purpose, nor done because I dislike it, I just don’t visit it as much as I should.

During a recent spell of clear blue skies lasting days, if not well over a week, I decided I was long overdue a trip to my local beach at Dawlish Warren. While some clouds in the sky is almost always my preferred state, the beach can sometimes work when there isn’t a cloud to be seen.

So, join me in this 5 Minute Photo Adventure to see how I approached capturing some seascape photos on a clear, and very pleasant morning down at Dawlish Warren.
