Windswept Curves Photo

Photographer’s Note

Rhosilli Bay is a stunning beach on the western edge of the Gower Peninsula that takes the full force of any gales and storms blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. We were hoping to go the headland overlooking the Worm's Head to catch a sunset but the fierce winds made it far too dangerous. So staying close to the car park I had to come away with some kind of image. Even with the tripod set as low as possible you could feel the wind battering away at the camera.

Hello Gerwyn,

Your effort was certainly worth while!
This is a great shot! Your POV is excellent as it allows you to look down on the magnificent beach. I really like the composition - the curve of the beach acts as a division between the sea and the hills.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Gerwyn,

Yes, a very pleasant overview of the beach! Even some brave souls down there catching the last sun. No one swimming though ;-).
Yes, a very nice shot for sure. Such a wideness in a portrait layout. Very well done!!

Greetings,
Dennis
