First class night time photography of a much photographed scene. I like the crop better than the original.

These have turned out really well - no 3 especially has come out well, along with a good composition. No 5 has got a good oof background as well

Thank you all for looking and commenting. Sidmouth isn't the usual seaside town (if that makes sense). Also helped that the day was lovely weather - although I got drenched by a rogue wave just after sunset The next day started with continuous cloud cover and stormy seas

Thanks Gwyn

Have followed the link through to a techy article that I have downloaded to look at later (and still won't understand probably!!)

No 14 is spectacular. Moody, moving...the motion of the waves, the reflections on the rocks, the silhouettes, the sparkling pebbles...I love everything about that photograph.
Thank you - the lighting was rather good!

You could have left out the dog! (I'm not interested in dogs) .... But the rest, well I can totally understand how impossible it was to filter it down any more.

It's a really strong set with every one benefiting from that superb lighting. You were out at the right times and have reaped the rewards! A lot of variety and good observation throughout.

The following stand a little higher above the rest in my opinion .... 2, 5, 10, 14.

I love how you capture the highlights near the top of the metering and allow plenty of deep shadow which gives a sense of isolation and majesty (to what could rather ordinary scenes under the midday's sun). Contrast has suffered in a couple with probably flare interfering (7 and 12) but they're fairly challenging situations.

Great to see Sidmouth looking so enticing
Thanks Nigel - no 7 has been enhanced a bit on the PC. In reality the lighting was subtle and lovely, but didn't show up too well on the monitor. The sun was only just breaking through. And yes - Sidmouth is worth a visit. I know from some of your posts that Swanage is/ has been an area of interest to you; venturing a bit further west into East Devon is worth it as well
