“The sea always filled her with longing, though for what she was never sure.”
-Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
I was fortuate enough to spend my birthday weekend at the beach. There’s a part of me that can only be filled by returning to the magic of the ocean. I feel introspective, peaceful and altered each and every time my toes touch the sand. This trip was no exception. The hours I spent walking the beach taking photos were some of my favorites in memory—just me and my camera. I hope you enjoy my selections.
If you’re unfamiliar with the 100 Day Project, the concept is simple. You choose any creative project you like and do it every day for 100 days, sharing your process on social media using the hashtag #The100DayProject. This year the dates are Feb. 13-May 24.
Here are a few bonus monochrome images:
Nice pictures… I could use a getaway somewhere
I’d highly recommend it 🙂
I’ve got one coming in June. I need to hang in there until then, I guess…
Wow. They are gorgeous and breathtaking. Hats off to you, dear Bridgette. This post is super awesome👏👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
Great photos – the ocean is a beautiful muse
Agreed. It was so hard to choose the photos to edit and share. So many possibilities.
I have the same thing when I’m taking photos – so many feel special and editing makes all the difference.
Ten weeks! You are doing great! 👏🏻
Thank you!!
👌👌👌📷🌹
Thank you.
The three Wimbrels/Sandpipers? would have made a good B&W too. Adventuring with dark light photography is good as well 🙂
Thank you. I loved the little color in the water in that picture so kept the color, but I might play around with it again.
Maybe selective colour could work?
That’s a good idea. I don’t know how to do that yet!
You do need a good photo edit program with a help function to guide you through. What do you use now?
I’m using ON1 Photo Raw. I’ll have to look through the tutorials-which there are many.
Wonderful pictures 🙂
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous pictures.💕
Thank you!!
My pleasure 💕
Sounds like you had a very nice birthday. I think one could accomplish a great deal if they were dedicated to doing something each day for 100 days.
Yes, it’s been an interesting journey. I think I’d like to continue with different goals broken into 100 day chunks.
Lovely photos, Bridgette! ❤️
Thanks so much, John!
Great composition on all your shots – nice camera, too!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful beach photos. I’m glad you had a wonderful birthday, dear Bri. So happy for you. And oh, there it is, the flower! Such a cute magnificent thing that quite warms the cockles of my heart. 💖
Thank you! I always have to include a photo for you.
I’m glad you do, dear. The pleasure is all mine. 💗💗
