Description Image

Back to July 2007. Very close to beneath the tide [link] . I witnessed an amazing sunset, unfortunately I wasn't in the right place, so didn't make the most of it, however I saw the moon rising to the south and the sunset gave a great colour cast, and I knew this location had some great rock formations. So I didn't leave empty handed.

Location

Godrevy, Cornwall, UK

Date and Time

20/08/2007, 21:57

Nikon D70 | Nikor 18-70 DX ED | focal length 18mm | ISO200 | f/20 | 25 secs | Hoya CPL + Cokin 120 Grad | Manafrotto 055PROB tripod + 141RC tilt pan head

Love shots like this...some nice light on the wet rock and just the right length of time with the shutter speed.
The composition feels a teeny bit tight around the top where the rock in the mid-ground is very close to the right side of the frame....but at the same time I don't know the location and for all I know there could be more rocks over there so you didn't have a choice.

Small niggle though, the shot has a lovely feel.

You are blessed with always being in just the right place at just the right time.

Or is it being in the right place at the wrong time, as you always seem to miss out on the shots you originally thought you would take?

Maybe you're just blessed with the ability to improvise beautifully. If I didn't know better, I would've thought you'd waited for this very shot to come to you.

Lovely. Just lovely.

But I have to get out alot to have those opportunities, I've had many failed sunsets and its pot luck in some ways.
