Marsden Sunset May 26, 2004

Watching the sun set over Marsden Bay, with Tynemouth in the very distance.

Just lately I've been doing way too many silhouettes. Here I am trying to make a feature of the foreground as well. Using a filter helps to darken the sky a little and include some detail from the cliffs. The flowers you can see are also featured here.

1/30s f/6.3 iso100 [w/ tripod + gradual grey filter]

Thanks guys.

It's worth a visit Cheryl. Not just here, but the whole of the North East has plenty of attractions. Don't dismiss it as lots of run-down Geordie housing estates.

Further up the coast a bit is Northumberland. I can't wait to visit there...
