In a recent post, I wrote about my motivation for photographing rock formations together with a description of one image that I had labelled 'a good one'.
In this post I am reflecting back to a set of images taken along Falmouth sea front during January (photography week 4, 2016). Instead of focusing on the merits of a single photograph, I have combined a number of images into a polyptych (1).
A polyptych aims to create a multi-layered view. Each component can be looked at either individually, as one whole image, or a series of relationships between the sections. If the later is achieved the polyptych has depth and is more interesting for the viewer.

This particular polyptych is part of a wider project to present the coastline around Falmouth characterised by the Devonian Portscatho Formation of sand and mudstone formed 375 to 392 million years ago (ref: iGeology app).
These are a selection of other rock images that were not included in the above polyptych but could be used in the future:
(1) I have used the term polyptych to describe a photograph made from many individual images or sections. Perhaps more common is a triptych - a three part work. More information about the origin of polyptychs can be found here.
