North Sea | Sunny 16 #2 (Set 4/6)
For the next two sets, I’ll take you on my last summer vacation.
It was the first time that I had vacation at the North Sea. It was boring in a nice way. We were on the beach, I barely touched the water. It was mandatory to rent a bike and I enjoyed riding around the island where we were. The island’s vegetation is different from the mainland’s one, and sea buckthorn was a thing there (not my thing at all) and seagulls were there, too, of course.
Taking photos on the beach with all that sand around wasn’t the smartest idea, especially when your hands are all over with sunscreen. Afterwards one is always wiser, right?
Another thing which also wasn’t very smart, was to photograph sand when the film itself was ISO 400, meaning that the film is very rough-grained. So looking at the picture of the sand, I’m not sure whether it’s a sand grain or a film grain that I see.
But that doesn’t hinder me to dream myself back into the strandkorb.
