At the beginning of May I was fortunate to participate in a Bailey and Chinnery workshop based in Bosham,  www.baileychinnery.com The object of the exercise was to create some multiple exposure and ICM images, although a couple of 'normal' shots squeezed into my repertoire. Doug was unfortunately unwell and could not attend but Valda was super attentive to the group and could not have done more to help. We made images in 3 areas, around some boats which I found to be the most productive, around the church and on the shoreline. Here are the better results.

Late Saturday afternoon of our weekend around Chichester we went down to the beach at West Wittering - a very salubrious place on a private estate which charged a fortune for parking. Walking to the sands we passed this sign on the wall of a utility building, which amused Alan no end. He would like to get the picture laminated to put on a certain door! The beach was busy and there was a stiff breeze blowing. You can rent surf boards here but few people had. I love shooting into the sun at the seaside as it gives a lovely 'bracing' feel to the pictures. The next morning we drove down to Bosham on the Chichester Inlet, a very smart boating place. An overheard conversation. " God, the tide is out so we can't take the yacht out. Quelle domage!" This is a phrase I plan to use more often. The tide truly was out leaving an inlet full of bright green seaweed, browsed over by swans.
