Came across a study performed by Michael Marten on Lens Culture (again, a few weeks back now but not had chance to write it up as I've been concentrating on the Assignment) - http://www.lensculture.com/marten.html .
The idea behind this really intrigues me - taking 2 photos of the same landscape from exactly the same location (using the same perspective etc), but at different times, one a low tide, one at high. He's repeated this in a number of different coastal locations.
However, I'm not sure that the concept has actually produced good photos. Obviously it's going to be very difficult to find a location which produces a well composed shot in both lowtide and hightide, and (for me), this shows.
The pairs of photographs make his point well (the power of nature), so as a study they work, but as photographs they often leave me feeling a bit flat.
