Great photos, Leon. Tried digging clams once and was traumatized when I cut off the digger of a clam and imagined him disabled or gone to his reward. Jut not meant for hunting or fishing, or even digging!
The silvery grey is quite effective in registering a chilly morning on the beach! Sorry to say I don't eat clams or dig clams, but the photos are great!
Nice set of shots, Leon. I like the mood of the black and white: you capture coldness of the coast during most clam digs. You should try heading down some evening during clam season when there is a good sunset, too.
