On the south coast of the UK we are well into the latter half of summer, and there is even nature's first hints of autumn. Horse-Chesnuts (conkers) have been visible on the trees for several weeks in my locale, and the spiny cupules of Sweet-Chesnuts are already being blown from the branches of trees; something that usually can be expected during October. Even so, it's still a bit early to be getting excited about all that low, raking light that comes with the winter months ( I can hardly wait).
The light is also changing, and early morning mists are more frequent, giving the photographer something to work with other than the brutal light of a summer's day.
The image is of Southbourne beach and Hengistbury Head, Dorset, shot at around 7:00 am today.
Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 lens. 1/750 sec at f/5.6. +0.6 exposure compensation. ISO 200.
