Mevagissey Harbour at Sunset

The Story

 

One of my favourite UK holiday destinations is the quaint fishing village of Mevagissey on the Cornish South coast.

Still a fully working fishing village its Harbour is always a hive of activity.

The fish and chips are obviously excellent or if you prefer the Cornish Pasty’s are fantastic.

When the sea is calm the Inner Harbour has fantastic reflections as seen in this photo. You are lucky to get such calmness in the outer harbour, especially with the frequent movement of fishing and pleasure craft.

This shot was taken in the springtime as the sun was about to set hence the beautiful colours in the sky.

 

The Shot

 

This is from a single RAW file taken with a Nikon D200 and a 12-24mm wide angle zoom lens.

Opened with Photomatix .

The resulting file then had the saturations and sharpness adjusted

Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
