It's a hand held photography with slow shutter speed when the sun almost going to sink to the horizon.
This is the beach at Newquay about 8.00pm in the evening taken from the cliff edge looking down to the waters edge, the light and colours are simply superb even if I do say so myself.
And on behalf of louize and myself we would like to say thank you for all your very kind comments and faves so far for our Cornwall shots, more so for Louize being this her first try on Flickr, thank you all!!
As usual I had my 105 lens on the camera yesterday evening as I took a stroll after work, but this beautiful blackbird let me get amazingly close before he flew away!

Backyard visitor and a lifer! A large flock of Evening Grosbeaks are enjoying the feeders in the backyard. What a thrill!
The late evening sun casting shadows on on an adventurous tendril of grapevine as it tumbles over the back fence of a suburban garden.
Our home is on the very edge of our small town and this view is just a couple of blocks away.
when I saw this scene, I rushed home to grab a camera hoping there would be enough light to capture the scene. There was quite a bit of haze caused by the dust of the harvesting and wildfire smoke coming in from the western part of the country which probably intensified the sunset colors.
In a small town like ours everyone knows everyone and news spreads fast. I learned the next morning at the coffee shop that this field yielded poorly because of the severely dry growing season.
The oldest recorded Evening Grosbeak was a male, and at least 16 years, 3 months old when he was found in New Brunswick in 1974.
"In the mid-1800s, Evening Grosbeaks were uncommon to rare east of the Rockies, but then they began moving eastward with each winter migration, reaching Rhode Island in the winter of 1910–1911. By the 1920s they were considered a regular winter visitor in New England. This eastward expansion may be related to the growing number of ornamental box elders, which provide a steady food supply for the grosbeaks."
A heavyset finch of northern coniferous forests, the Evening Grosbeak adds a splash of color to winter bird feeders every few years, when large flocks depart their northern breeding grounds en masse to seek food to the south. The yellow-bodied, dusky-headed male has an imposing air thanks to his massive bill and fierce eyebrow stripe. The female is more subtly marked, with golden highlights on her soft gray plumage. This declining species is becoming uncommon, particularly in the eastern United States.
