hard to handle

Spanish Banks

the kites are hard to handle even back on the windswept beach....the blowing sand indicates just how breezy the day was..in fact it was a challenge to hold the camera stable too, hence the fast shutter speed

Great colorful capture against the backdrop of the city. V

Colorful capture --- seeing the wind blown sand definitely puts those conditions into perspective.

It's fascinating to watch them sometimes. I saw one who tied himself to a post, so he could get the rig down and off.

Nice capture. Looks very challenging with the strong winds.
Julie Oldfield16-Apr-2021 01:08
He looks like he is going to be dragged away. Nice action. The background is lovely. V

A nice splash of color against the cityscape. Interesting to see the different positions of the people. V

Sort of a catch 22. Hard to handle in the wind, but useless without it.

It is incredible to see how fast they go on a windy day like this. I wonder if that person laying on the beach is taking photos too.

Like the action on the beach on a windy day. Nice with the skyline in the background.

It looks pretty windy indeed. Great capture of this beach scene with the city in the backdrop V!

Looks like a micro sandstorm blaring the ground huggers- and such structured rigidness for a backdrop.

Only mad dogs and Canadians out there braving the elements :) Everyone looks well wrapped !! V

It must be tough to handle those sails in that wind, I hope you didn't get any sand i the camera.
Hank Vander Velde15-Apr-2021 01:31
Looks both cool and windy David. Nice shot of the activity with the city towers in the background.

Indeed, it does look pretty windy, but a very striking shot with the city looking so close to the beach.
