I love to visit the sea whenever I’m able to so when I had some time to while away on Christmas Eve I made a beeline for the coast with one of my pinhole cameras.
I started off at Bracklesham Bay with a warming bowl of soup in the beachside café then headed down onto the pebbly beach. It was a case of dodging the waves as the slope of the beach made it difficult to predict how far the water would advance. After a while I’d had enough of wading through the shingle and moved on to West Wittering.
Although West Wittering is just a few miles along the coast from Bracklesham the beach couldn’t be more different, with a wide expanse of sand. Here I found lots of potential for pinhole photos, both on the shoreline and by the sand dunes.
Further along the beach I found an abandoned child’s spade and spent some time capturing the water as it lapped up around the groynes.
