On my way to Exeter today I stopped off at Chesil Beach in Dorset and couldn’t quite believe the contrast with my last visit just over a year ago – instead of crashing waves and threatening storm clouds there was sunshine and blue sky. There were also lots of fishermen, trying to catch some mackerel. It wasn’t really the right sort of conditions for sweeping landscape shots (too hazy and too bright) so I silhouetted one of the fishermen against the strong sunshine and the sea. I got chatting to one of them and he told me that he hadn’t got a very good catch and I later spotted part of the reason – a seal bobbing up and down among the waves a few yards out, no doubt eating the mackerel before they even reached the shore!

Andarta Wonderful shot, I like that you silhouetted the fisherman but also caught the sun reflecting on the water and the texture of the sand.
