My favourite image from an extraordinary sunset at Snettisham Beach #Norfolk a couple of weeks ago. But I must show you the sequence of moments that came before and after this too: a thread
The show began when the sand was bathed in a golden orange light
Looking behind me the sky glowed from cool to warm with rare lilac hues
This is one of the only places on the east coast of England where you can see the sunset over the sea
The finite shape of The Wash seemed to enhance the focused quality of the light and the contrast of blues and reds
Once the sun had slid below the horizon the fire really lit up
Moments later pinks and purples start to dominate. Exposure is easier at this stage as the dynamic range of the scene starts to contract.
I’m on the tripod now, the sun long gone, as sky blushes pink and blue.
As night falls the contrast increases and I make this final frame. I’ve still got many miles to walk, I should be tired, but having witnessed such spine-tingling beauty my body feels weightless.
