Night at Priest's Cove
Another clear and starry night was forecast - such a rarity in Cornwall this summer. So I took off with my camera to practice photographing the Milky Way again. Priest's Cove is the tiny fishing cove just below Cape Cornwall and I thought the boats might give some foreground interest. What I hadn't bargained for was that Land's End (the bright lights on the centre horizon), would be having a firework display which lit the sky with regular giant sparkles of coloured light. By the time that was over, the almost full moon was beginning to light up the sky, which subdued the stars quite a lot.
Note to self: wait for a moonless night!
