Seaweed is usually a recalcitrant photographic subject for me: the gleam disconcerts the camera, and distracts it from its primary duty of sharpness. But recently an early walk with the sun just rising produced this haul of Tutankhamen gold.

You have also captured the texture as well as the beautifully descriptive “Tutankhamen gold”

Last time I saw Tutankhamen gold was walking along the gulf of Aqaba. There, the water shimmered with both his blue and his gold. He was in my mind then because I’d just seen the splendid exhibition in the Cairo museum. He’s probably in my mind now because I’d been sleeping in my study and there’s a Tutankhamen poster on the wall.

What a magic sight that would’ve been. Did you take photos back then?

Locked away in pre-digital albums and not very good. But certainly vivid in my mind.

Looking at old photos does bring back so many memories

I love how the colours change with the light, number four with the sand has a nice blue hint in the background sand. I’ve never managed to get a good photo of seaweed!

It surely did 🙂 🙂 A cornucopia of gleaming colour.

I will object. I used to think that the primary goal is sharpness, but now I think differently, not saying that these are not tack sharp. I mean, I still want my photos to be sharp, but it is not always necessary. You should not fear gleam. It catches light nicely. You mastered it here 🙂

You should see the bin full of discards from the last ten years! I’m interested in your comment. I saw a photographic exhibition recently where blur was an art form. Takes a bit of adjusting to.
