What do you do when the thing you wanted to photograph has disappeared under water? Well that was the dilemma I faced a few weeks back when I went to the beach.<\/p>\n

\"Adorama<\/a>To make matters worse it wasn\u2019t a stunningly beautiful beach and the lighting was pretty flat and lifeless. However I wasn\u2019t going to go away empty handed so I created a photo from nothing.<\/p>\n

First I did something I do a lot when I\u2019m on a pebble beach, I grab some stones and started stacking. Photographing the pebbles was a simple enough affair but it needed something more and I thought the best thing to do was to add a background texture.<\/p>\n
