Dramatic summer

Bamburgh Beach, Northumberland

This image was taken at low tide, when there were still puddles of water in the mud reflecting the sky. It was taken just after shooting with the sun behind the photographer for an evenly lit scene looking the other way. You should always look behind yourself regardless of whether you’re shooting towards or away from the sun: it’s all too easy to miss a great shot because you’re so focused on what’s in front of you.
