Seaside sunsets maybe cliche but they can be stunning

9 years 9 months ago - 9 years 9 months ago #389527 by Garyhind
I was talking to another photographer the other day and he said that he felt that sunsets are so last year (that may not be verbatim but you get the idea). I do find some a little tiresome but some are amazing. I was quite pleased with this one I took in Southport, Merseyside. UK. July 2014




It was a very long and patient wait as I wanted the incoming tide to coincide with the sunsetting. But to be honest it was such a lovely night that I shared with couple of other photographers it was well worth it. Picture was taken at 22:30 bst. Canon 6d, 17-40. 30 seconds at f22. ISO 100 Forgot to mention the Lee 0.9 soft grad filter

Whatever that guy thinks is fine and all, but sunset photos have been around for years, and the sun is going to keep setting, so their going to be around in the future too. They are deemed the best times for lighting and are often what photographers work around. Your photo is a lovely photo and it looks great, I like the look of it all around. Keep up the work :)

Yes they are cliched shots but we love them, here's a little story about Southport.

i visited Southport with my wife and about twenty members of her family, the tide was out which meant the sea was about a mile away, so my brother in law and myself took two cars and loaded them up with the children, we drove down to the sea and we all jumped in, half an hour later and we noticed the tide was racing in and both cars were deep in sea water, we shouted to the kids to run up the beach and we both jumped into the cars, we started them up but as we set off both cars sank into the sand and we were stuck, it took twenty minutes for a tractor to reach us by which time both cars had water above the window level, the tractor driver rescued us both, but both cars we're write offs.
funny how a photograph can bring back nightmare memories.
