Location
This image was captured on a small outcrop of cliff called Breil Newk located between North Landing and the lighthouse at Flamborough Head in East Yorkshire, EnglandTime
This particular shot was captured at 21.09 on the 14th June 2015 one of the only 3 months you can actually capture a sunset on the east coast of the UKLighting
When I arrived at this location the sky was not looking very good nad I thought I was wasting my time but being quite obstinate and having plenty of patience I decided I would wait until after sunset to throw in the towel but fortunately once the sun dropped below the clouds I was rewarded with a superb sunsetEquipment

Just to the left hand side of this location is a little cove with a stack a location I regularly visit for sunrise images in fact there is an image in my PF called Breill Newk taken from there, after that shoot I scouted the area looking for inspiration and found this placeEditing

Patience and maybe being a bit obstinate is paramount for landscapes it seems to be a case of preperation careful planning and then its a waiting game hoping that everything falls into place I derive great pleasure from the waiting game that is 'landscape photography
