©Neil Turner, January 2015. Flowers and a memorial plaque to four local surfers on Boscombe Pier.
The light on the beach is almost always interesting and whilst out walking this morning I shot a few frames of a small bunch of flowers tucked behind a memorial plaque to four young local surfers on Boscombe Pier. I guess that I would call this a documentary image and it is yet another different way for me to shoot a beach picture. For me the photograph is a great deal stronger for having the back of the gentleman in the frame.
Tech stuff: Fujifilm X100S, 1/170th of a second at f11 on 320 ISO. RAW file processed through Adobe Camera RAW in Photoshop CC2014.

I like the photo. I guess the flowers relate to the message in the plaque – and that tells a story and the background gives the setting. So it works as a picture.

Over Christmas and the new year lots of small bunches of flowers appeared on memorial benches around the town and along the seafront. I don’t remember seeing as many in previous years. There are literally hundreds of memorial plaques on benches down here.
