Sunset over Gansey Bay
Yesterday I was on my way for a pint in the local when I saw a beautiful glow in the sky. I quickly made my way down to Gansey where I was just in time to capture the sun going down. I didn’t have my tripod with me so I kept the aperture down so I could hand hold it as best as I could. (I’ve not got the steadiest hand in the business – for sure).

A slight crop in Lightroom and sharpened a little. A few other very minor tweaks were made in Photoshop.

C & C welcomed!
