Robert's Ramblings

I looked up at the clock and it was just 14 minutes until sunset.

I had not captured any images yet so I grabbed my camera and headed down the to the beach to see how the last rays of light for the day would fall. As I approached I saw the last vestige of sun descend behind and be obscured by cloud. There would be no sunset images made here tonight!

Although I found myself on a cold, windy and drizzly beach, the light was soft and almost warm albeit rapidly fading. I made quite a few images in the receding light and this one was my favorite.

For this image I liked the composition of rock, jetty, seaweed sand, sea and sky but it needed something extra. A little patience paid off as a series of large waves came through right up the beach to where I was positioned and this is the result.
