Location

I can't help but see beauty in every landscape and this scene at Weston-super-Mare was no exception. The light hit the water just right and the cloud formations reflected the hues gloriously

Time

Sunset is always my favourite time to capture a scene. The silhouette and dancing rays complement each other so well among the vibrant tones of red and orange in the sky. It's almost magical

Lighting

The angle of the shot and the way in which the camera can draw in the light makes a huge difference. Passers by probably thought I was totally crazy kneeling in wet sand in the cold but it was worth it for that glow

Equipment

I used my Samsung Galaxy S22. No other equipment was needed.

Inspiration

It's a childhood memory visiting this beach and I find something new to love each time I go. It may not be much to many, but certain times of the day really capture my imagination here

Editing

I usually adjust landscape photography to get the white balance just right. In this case manually tweaking the brightness and exposure a little was enough to allow the tones to be as mesmerising in the photo as they were to the naked eye

In my camera bag

After losing my dslr in my divorce, I tend to use my phone and take it home to my laptop to appreciate and edit afterwards

Feedback

Always have your camera to hand. You never know when the sun will create such a magical vista over the horizon
