Went to a little local beach by me called Aberthaw hoping to get some fast cloud action and long exposures but it never materialised and the sunset wasn't playing ball so I left early.

On the way home then the sky lit up so I raced down to my local beach to grab this one here:

Oh yea lull us into a sense of nice shots then hit us with the last one.
Its like a scene from a film, or game of thrones or something, very dramatic, love it.
No 2 is a cracker too. Great sky.

Regardless of 'no sunset' and 'no fast clouds' these are great. The second one and the last one are stunners, all in all I would say this was well worth the effort!

Ha, what is THAT Gareth , an extraordinary scene ... Looks like the apocalypse is about to descend Beautifully taken technically, you've eeked out all that you could get, to theatrical effect processing-wise.

haha! Thanks all

Certainly was worth the effort! Took these on the Thursday and knew I had camera club on the Friday so all in all I was out the front door and back home within an hour and a half! The perks of living on the coast!
