The Magic of Cornwall

Another from my Widemouth Bay shoot. Not much to say about this one only that I love the cloud formation in this one. That dark cloud to the top left helps the composition and I like the pink and orange tinges to the edges of the clouds. I have positioned the horizon on the top third of the image which gives me plenty of detail in the fore and mid ground. If I was bing picky I would have liked the tide to have been in a little further which would have given me some wave detail, but although the tide was on the way in sunset came before I could take advantage of that.

This is the second image from my shoot at Widemouth Bay. I had previously visited this spot and made a mental note to return for this shot, and although the light was not that good on my arrival I noticed there was a break in the clouds towards the horizon which might provide for a dramatic shot as he sun began to set. I set my tripod up in the middle of the maram grass and focussed on the middle distance with a small aperture to maximise the depth of field. I think the dark cloud, punctuated by the orange glow of the setting sun gave me the drama I was seeking.
