The ebbing tide just after sunset on The Winner Bank, at the entrance to Chichester Harbour ,West Wittering, West Sussex, England, 25th February 2012.

"Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring" I like a story to a picture so here is this one. A lady had walked past me whilst I frolicked in the surf(sexy waders on still far too cold), she wore a bright red coat, a minute or so later this man went past, with a huge tripod, capable of carrying a mighty Canon, along with a large camera, and a huge great lens, I wondered how long would it be before he spotted this lovely late sun catching the waves breaking, on an almost still perfect evening, onward he ploughed, and never saw it at all, thought I'd better snap him quick before he went over the horizon.I later caught up with him , and he asked as to what I was doing back there, showed him this pic, he loved it, and said he'd not even thought of looking for photogenic light there, but would be paying attention in the future.ISO 100,f16, 0.8 second exposure(just to give the water a little movement), it turned out to be a most superb evening, the colours after sunset grew and grew, each time I thought of leaving something else would catch my eye, could post enough to fill the Albert Hall.

First time for ages that I have managed to get out on The Winner, stunning stillness this eve.

Deep in the woods, a canopy of trees, and a canopy of stars, 369X30 second exposures, at 30 seconds each, with a little bit of light painting on one or two exposures, just to see what happens next? camera settings, ISO 100, f3.5, 10-24mm lens focused at infinity, thanks for the use of the torch Paul.
