Porthtowan Sunset, One Last Time.


Day 10, this is my last day at Porthtowan Beach & my last sunset, not as strong as some of the early days but subtle & just as much fun to shoot.

So, ten days and ten sunsets, what have I learned from shooting the same subject repeatedly? First every day is different, the sunsets are very colourful & some days the colours are more muted, the light was ever changing. The beach looks different every day, first there is more to shoot due to the times of the low tides changing about one hour per day. Then the activities are different, sometimes there are more people on the beach doing different things. There are always different shots to be had. As for the daytime stuff, well due to these exceptional weather conditions giving these beautiful sunsets the light was very strong and full of contrast, so I could not wait to get back to the beach each day.

Renting a cottage a few yards from the beach allowed me to be there at the right time. This was a great holiday.
