Had a wander along my favourite beach tonight & managed a few sunset shots, here's one of several

All feedback appreciated

Works for me.The appearance of the sunlight from the right of the photo lighting up the rocks and the wall of the lighthouse works well.

IMHO.

Lovely shot, the path leads your eye upto the lighthouse and the soft lighting on the rocks is great. Do you have a shot from a little later so that the setting sun lights up the path a bit more?

Thanks for the comments...

ShootingJack,

This was taken about 15 minutes before sunset - unfortunately this time of year it's not possible to take the shot with the sun higher as it would close behind the lighthouse. May well revisit in a month or two & take a few more shots

Thanks for the comments & yes, walked pretty much all of it several times....

My own favourite places for walking in particular are between Cemaes/Bull Bay, Treaddur/Holyhead, Cemaes/Carmel Head, Treaddur/Rhoscolyn - quite spectacular in places & certainly rivals anything Cornwall has to offer.

If beaches are your thing without doubt Llanddwyn here (near Newborough) is something special, also nice are Benllech, Lligwy (near Moelfre), Church Bay, Rhosneigr (great for watersport too) - there are others too.

I have a few articles on my website here which you might find useful:

Also the Anglesey Official site has lots of info:

Hope this gives you some ideas - now, just need to get in touch with Anglesey Tourism & claim my commission fees

Simon, the first shot is by far the best and an excellent pic, I love sea scapes I think their peaceful nature is so good for photography, really good work, nice one.

Like it alot,

I like the lighting effect and the way the clouds seem to funnel towards the mountains in the distance.

Wicked picture
