Any man who can see what he wants to get on film will usually find some way to get it;
and a man who thinks his equipment is going to see for him is not going to get much of anything.

Peter R  -  beautiful

Sapata - somehow I can't help but think that living in Brazil you've got an unfair advantage on the rest of us ;)

Still, if that's how you want to play it, here are some Mexican beaches for you!!

Thanks Sapata and everyone. I love to look at other folks beach shots...

I have a bunch of fresh rolls that just came back from the beach but I am rebuilding my computer that the scanner is attached to so lets see what I have already on flickr...

This is getting better and better  :)

Thanks ED! Liking the one with the waves/running water, It really looks like a grass field, cool, and the one with Amy reminds me to our recent trip to Iceland  ;D

So Photo Utopia said Jumping...? This was shot with the Polaroid 195 on POlaroid Blue, which at that time I did not like much, but now I am longing that Polaroid film, well any Polaroid film...  :'(

Ed that is amazing!

hope you enjoyed Kernow.

Tregardock is a favourite place of mine, although well done for finding parking in August!

Great stuff.

Calbisu
Your jump is excellent, head out of the frame and the other torso looking on–genius! I like Ed's surfer too and the crashing wave.
I think the colours in Paul's Soulthwold beach huts are perfect, and for reference my jump shot is in the dunes 20 feet to the right of those very huts!
It is a very small world indeed :)

I don't think I posted this one before from last summer

Mauricio - your beach images are jaw droppingly good!  In fact, this entire thread makes me swoon. 

As a gal who grew up by the sea, this is definitely one of my favorite places to shoot (as confirmed by the sand in my camera bags)  :)
