Sunset on the beach

While on holiday in the South West of the UK I saw a photo of an interesting building on the cover of a bus timetable left in the apartment we were staying in. After a bit of research I found out the building was in fact a lighthouse called Burnham-on-Sea Low Lighthouse. After a day at the beach with the family I headed off in the evening to Burnham-on-Sea in pursuit of a photographic opportunity, I got there in time for sunset and it was a stunning scene. Unfortunately I was not the only photographer there but I managed to get a nice composition which I later found out is one that no-one else has shot and uploaded which is great, if the other photographers were not there I may have missed this less obvious shot and taken another similar shot to everyone else.

 

I captured this shot in a single shot rather than an HDR and I am happy I did. I had to open up the shadows a small amount as I exposed for the highlights. Other than shadow adjustment I did a little split toning, added some contrast and some minor curves adjustment.

 

While taking the shot I also made a vlog for my YouTube channel, please feel free to check it out and subscribe: youtu.be/LOKpAcIn_JE
