Trust me to find a pine cone on Sellicks beach. Really.
So it was a choice between an 80th birthday party for my grandmother or take my terrible camera and walk across the road to the beach. Tough call. Not that I dislike my grandmother, she is pretty cool for an octogenarian.

Well, in trying to get the best out of my terrible camera (I'll get back to why it is as such) I was experimenting with reflections and flash an the ocean and so on. Of around 30 shots, this was the best. I had to use the timer so that it wouldn't be blurred at the relatively low shutter speed of 1/25.
It was pretty hard to get the timing in; something like:
-put camera on rock
-set timer
-take photo just as wash hits pine cone
-remove camera from rock before the wash it but not before the photo was taken.
