A stream flows from beneath the rocks and pebbles at the back of the beach and flows across the grey sand to the sea, with a lovely sunset sky reflected in the water. Again I am so pleased with the Image Stabiliser on this new camera- I wouldn't normally risk 1/25s handheld.

Got to be the best yet of your sand and pebble images. Quite stunning! Like the contrast between dull and matt and bright and shiny.
There's a marked difference between old and new cameras!
David from the Hebrides: Thank you for the compliment Jose.
Yes, the Olympus E-3 is a beast, with a steep learning curve involved, but well worth the effort. Now the controls are becoming instinctive, it is turning out absolutely superb results.
very nice, David. I've attempted to take shots like this one but none as successfully. Wonderful contrast between the lusterless rocks and the light filled sand and water. The sand patterns on the right look like a topographical map..one can almost imagine mountain ranges, valleys and rivers.
David from the Hebrides: Many thanks Suzanne- it does look like a huge river delta seen from 30000feet doesn't it!
These are some great shots you have been posting recently - you have obviously got to grips with your new camera. I would so love to have that Image Stabiliser facility on my camera. I often don't have a tripod with me but anything below 1/50s is dodgy. Love the smoothness of the pebbles and that inky liquid.

David from the Hebrides: Ha! you always spot the wee thing that I love too- in this case the black bottoms to the rocks! IS is a real boon, the E-3 is a gem, and I still love showing off this island to the world- thanks for your kind comments Ingrid.
Having been a geographer and and geomorpholgist in my formative days this is just pure 'liquid gold'.richard.
David from the Hebrides: I'm jealous! As a complete layman, I love trying to work out why places and colours and landscapes are the way they are- eg the grey and black sand beaches on Skye are (I guess) because of so much volcanic basalt in the area. Thanks for your kind words Richard.
