Angry sky - Porth Nanven

Having driven down to Cornwall, I headed straight to Porth Nanven for a sunset shoot. Freezing Northerly wind and hail showers which fortunately decided to avoid this beach.

This beach continues to fascinate me with its seemingly endless moods.

My favorite from this series though the other are excellent.
I like the warmth of the light against the cold tones and the dynamic flow of the water.
Taken at what, 1/15?, 1/30?
And that Velvia does put d** to shame

Makes me hanker after that rocky coastline which I haven't visited for years. Beautiful shot.
 
A huge thankyou for such a positive response to this picture. As always with scenes with this much going on, it is hard to know exactly when to make the exposure. The clouds were coming from R to L, and wanted humps in clouds over the Brisons (rocks out to sea), but when this happened, the light wasn't as good in the sky, so glad I hit the shutter early too.

Whilst not exactly (as good as) one of yours Murray, it did get a similar response from my 9 year old son and 11 year old daughter. They love Cornwall dearly and this picture seemed to speak to them.

Can't recall exposure Marc, sorry. I might find the QL packet and will post details if I do, it's in a big pile at present, waiting to be tidied.... Think it was longer than 1/15, more like 1/2s.
