Sunset over Golden Cap



As the sunset tonight in a clear blue sky, it lit up the cliffs along the coast with the last of the Golden Hour light. Along with a low tide down at Charmouth, I decided to capture a different shot of Golden Cap.

The tide was low, the waves were very slight and the colours were glowing in the last of the afternoon sunlight.

Using a 10-stop filter, the Lee Big Stopper, the exposure time was 77 seconds, smoothing the water to mist. It was a shame there weren't any clouds in the sky, but still a lovely sunset.

There were a few members of the public out watching the sunset tonight, including a young lad from Chideock who had a remote control 'car' running around the beach. Congratulations to him for getting it up to 60mph and designing and building a carbon-fibre body at college. Cool!
