I'm often guilty of automatically defaulting to my favourite wide-angle lens (the Olympus 9-18mm) and using slower shutter speeds but when I'd made an early morning trip to Millendreath after Storm Katie the waves were too big for me to dare get the part of the beach I was aiming for (I love photography, but not enough to risk getting washed out to sea!)

On this morning I took a different approach and used my telephoto lens and a fast shutter speed (1/800 sec) to freeze the waves, just waiting for the waves to be just crashing and making a nice lead-in line into the image, on towards the rocks and cliffs in the distance.

Sometimes it's good to stray a little outside your own personal box!
