On the beach with ghosts

I’ve got three beach scenes to publish today. All taken at Bridlington.

The weather at the time was calm and there was a layer of high thin cloud as well as a fine sea-mist that threw the horizon into a dim line. There’s a sense of calmness to some of the shots, I think.

Curiously, some of the figures on the beach have an oddly faded look to them, like they are not fully there. I’m not sure of the cause, but wonder if the orange filter I was using might be the culprit?

    1. Thanks Andy. Yes, the sea was pretty much just lapping against the shore so, combined with the hazy mist, it was quite tranquil in that regard. Loads of people on the prom to snap me back to the noise of the world though.
