Afterglow...


Now that the evenings are beginning to noticeably draw in it makes dusk photography all the more conducive; I don't have to be out half the night to get images. That, plus the fact that Autumn - and the colours the season brings - is just around the corner, and I'm just itching to get amongst it with a camera.

Shooting after sunset has its rewards, but you have to be patient. Once the sun dips below the horizon most photographers pack up and go home, but sometimes the afterglow - when it happens - can be more photogenic than the sunset itself. I photographed the image tonight at Poole Harbour, Dorset, ten minutes after the sun had sunk below the horizon.

24-70 f/2.8 EX DG Sigma lens. 1/50 second at f/8. -0.33 EV. ISO 640
