Beachfront after dark

A meeting after work last week meant that I was on the beachfront after sunset and it gave me a chance to snap a few pics. I'm still figuring out the settings on my new SLR so played around and then realised that I should have had my tripod to really get some nice pictures. This … Continue reading Beachfront after dark →
