“A star no longer, but a golden ribbon of light”

East Lothian is one of my favourite destinations. I really enjoy being next to the sea and in the open space feeling the breeze and the salty air.

 

I haven’t been to Port Seton in very long time so I set out as the conditions looked favourable. Upon arrival though there was no colour to be seen and the tide was far too low for the shot I had in mind. I met another photographer as he was packing to leave but for some reason I decided to stick around. I am setting my camera up and I realise that my memory card has enough space for 12 more shots (but didn’t need even that). Just before sunset and through a crack on the clouds some beautiful golden light appeared. This shot is 87” out of probably 5’. Quickly as it appeared it was over. It was a very peaceful evening and not even the multiple road works on the way back managed to ruin it 😂.

 

Title is a word play from the poem of Jonathan Campbell “Darkness”.

 

As per usually I had a tune in mind when shooting. This time it was Moondust by Madis
