Four of us were meeting for sunset at Caister-on-Sea.

We wandered onto the beach and across the dunes and began hunting for our own compositions.

I was struggling or start with and took this shot as a 1:1 image.

My first image

Once I started, I was thinking a bit harder about what I would aim for and decided to grab a diagonal wave / swooshery shot.

This next image turned out to be my best of the evening.

I moved further up the beach and took some more shots.

I’ve edited the following in a sad attempt at producing something minimalist but it’s not great.

Minimalism at Caister

At this point in the evening, an amazing sunset sky was developing quickly behind us but at Caister this is opposite the sea with little to feature but the dunes.

For a brief moment, I thought about climbing up on the rocks to shoot back to the sunset sky with rocks in the foreground but the tide had moved in enough for my real-time risk assessment to think the better of it.

I moved further inland and tried to work some foreground interest.

Firstly, by using some rocks on the beach.

Then secondly, by using the dunes.

And that was a wrap.

We had a splendid evening and an amazing sunset sky and there will not be many more, if any, sunsets like this one this year as the summer comes to an end.

We had a debrief back at the car and headed home.

Onwards and upwards…
