I took several more - some over at the seaward side - all of which were disappointing. Although I was using a tripod I failed to take into account the fact that lapping sea water causes the sand to shift, which in turn means that the tripod moves. Imperceptible to the photographer at the time, but clearly evident in the blurred photos downloaded to my Mac.
Sometimes life teaches us hard lessons…

I had exactly the same problem Dunc, the tide moving my cheapo £10 ebay tripod. It got better when I shoved it a bit further into the sand.

A good lesson to learn though as you are rewarded with this top shot, very good compositioning.

good result in the colour, a lot of tension in the shot with your eye being constantly pulled between the two subjects, this in turn gives the image dynamicism, overall a powerful statement of your art…

“The collective wisdom of Duncan McMillan” will be available in all good book shops from March. And lets face it, all the rubbish shops too.

Can I get a signed copy?
Maybe it would pay for repairs on Dunc’s big bike! lol - you bugger!

Wonderful shot! Love the wide angle, and especially the slight movement in the clouds.

Another of the photos which I failed to get. All my long exposure photos of the tide coming in were rubbish!
This is a cracker.
