Sunset over Hive Beach
17th October 2010
After a very busy weekend at the Eat Dorset Food Fair, up at Parnham House, near Beaminster, I was ready to relax and sit down for a while, so I went down to my favourite beach and watched the sunset develop.
Only having my old camera was a bit of a shame as the entire sky started to glow. All around the sky lit up and as the sun ducked below the horizon, behind the clouds, the sky really started to take on some wonderful colours.
I started playing around with some of the boats in the foreground until 2 people came and sat down right in the middle of the shot, so I moved down to the waters edge and started to frame a new shot. After a few attempts I decided to get my ND110 10-stop filter out and try some long exposures to get some movement in the clouds, and to accentuate the colours developing across the sky.
I really liked the result and its a shame I only had my old Nikon D50 available.
