Yes
With Comet Neowise making an appearance, I ventured out and this was the second proper attempt for this type of photography after a previous jaunt chasing the comet.
A bit of reading up and studying on YouTube had been done. A location was chosen and....


The weather forecast for West Cornwall that evening offered a glimpse of a hope for another comet photo and maybe a sunset. So Plan A was to head to Botallack. This, however, was thwarted by the sea mist rolling in combined with low cloud.

Knowing Cornwall is renowned for micro climates, Plan B was initiated and I headed over to Godrevy and yes, there was clear sky around but also quite a bit of cloud.
Patience is the key. Whilst trying to work out which way the cloud was moving, it became obvious that it was fairly static but, was slowly starting to dissolve and this beautiful view came in to sight.
