A hint of colour...

After several days of rain and overcast conditions, the skies clear over Dorset, so I set out for a sunny afternoon's photography.
I don't have any specific subject in mind: just photography for the sake of it,  but as the sun gets lower in the sky I start to seek out bold colours as a compositional tool. I use a super telephoto lens to help isolate and compress elements in the scene.
The photograph, shot an hour before sunset, is of the beach huts in front of Boscombe Spa Village, Dorset, and the colourful guy walking past in the red anorak adds to the image.

300 mm f/4 AF-S Nikkor. 1/4000 second at f/4. -0.33EV. ISO 320
