Cornish Coast - Photography Week 28 (2016)

After a few weeks break, the coastal landscapes from Cornwall return. Arguably, the best weather of the year has also arrived with blue skies and hot sunshine. It is good for tourism but from a photographic point view, moody and dramatic is often better than bright and blue.

That said, a patient wait until after 9pm at Chapel Porth produced a decent image with some warm light on the cliffs reflected in the wet sand below:

Prior to this, as the family enjoyed the sun, I tried to be inventive with the conditions using a 10 stop ND filter and switching the camera's settings to mono:

A late afternoon walk from St Agnes Head to Trevaunance Cove beach provided some clear views along the cliffs towards Perranporth with some fine heather colour in the foreground:

St Agnes is steeped in mining history and there are many remnants of the area's industrial past along the coastal path:

Also during the week there was some pleasant but hazy evening light further down the coast at Godrevy:
