Sunlit Stroll

Harlech beach, North Wales, a first time for me here and what a stunning place it is, the weather had been really poor this particular morning and I was basically looking at shooting black and white long expsoures on the coast as there was virttually no light at all and grey skies.

On the way to Barmouth the sun started breaking through some of the heavy cloud cover giving really intense light in shafts down onto the ocean below, knowing it wouldn't last I had to find somewhere to park up and try somewhere to get a shot....

With absolutely nowhere to park up I had to resort to dumping the car half on some grass nearby with the hazards on, not something I'd normally do but needs must...

This was the scene nearby with the shafts of sunlight breaking through the storms clouds and illinating sections of the beach and also the surf washing onto the beach, I just had to frame up wait for the couple walking on the beach to be illuminated by sunlight as it moved along the beach quickly with the aid of some strong winds, I don't normally like to shoot big sweeping scenes in this way but the weather here was just perfect to show this landscape off including the curvature of the beach, the couple walking amongst it couldn't have timed it better for my shot and for their stroll, and I didn't get a parking ticket.
