Postman Smith
Reeds in a Pagham sunset
My intention on heading out to take these photos was to capture the rocks I had photographed before flickr.com/photos/postmansmith/3082983150/ in a different light. However I had misjudged the extent to which the reserve lags behind the tidal flow of Bognor and Pagham and it was as low as you could get, meaning I would have been photographing mud pure and simple. I decided to keep on walking around the north brim of the reserve hoping for inspiration (and more water). The sun was setting and I was getting pushed for time when I found this stream running around the other side of the reserve. I had to scramble down the bank, not sure whether the reeds at the bottom were actually on solid ground or not. And so I ended up with this and a couple of shots post sunset that I am hanging onto as they feel like some of the better photos I could take.
Not bad for a walk that started with the photo I had planned seemingly beyond reach. The moral is to keep walking and looking for photos even when it looks like the shoot is a bust.
