Location
This is taken on a private beach on the Caribbean Island of CuracaoTime
I had booked a bonfire and Bbq for sunset for our local camera club. I had asked for the bonfire to be lit before sunset so it would be in full flow by the time the sun set.Lighting
No extra lighting needed, but 2 stops underexposed and on Shade settingEquipment

I love taking pictures at sunset on the beach - but we are very rarely allowed to have bonfires, this beach is private and made of coral stone, so no nesting turtles and no one to step on the hot embers once we had left - as the beach would be closed. So this made for the perfect opportunity to make and light a bonfireEditing
Lightroom min post processingIn my camera bag
Normally just 1 camera and lens and water- I do a lot of beach family shoots - its hot and sandy so I just take the min I needFeedback
Beware of the heat form the bonfire - don't get too close. We needed head torches afterwards - but a great night out
