    I found the event really enjoyable - Alex who lead the event, was extremely knowledgeable and ran the event at a pace that could be followed by all. I took so much from the time spent meandering around Port Sunlight, viewing everything in a totally different light. A thoroughly enjoyable event and one I would highly recommend.

    I went to Kings Parade, New Brighton as it was a sunny evening. At the time the sun was lowering into a bank of cloud but it was clear below it. As I was walking the beach I noticed people on a further sand bar that I thought would make interesting subjects as silhouettes. I then noticed a couple starting to cross the water and the composition began to evolve that resulted in this image. Nikon D4s, 80-200mm, f:5.0 @ 1/1250 with a whole stop minus EV.
