Another from the spring. Rhossili Bay is on the westerly tip of the Gower peninsular and overlooks the headland known as Worms Head, the start of which I was stood on.
On this day there was plenty of blue sky and sunshine, but a stiff westerly wind (blowing from left to right of this image) kept me on my toes as varying cloud raced overhead. One moment the sky was completely blue with the odd puffy white cloud and the next it was filled with heavy dark rain clouds. For a while the cloud you see in this image hid the sun from view, but as the cloud reached land, the sun broke through once again and illuminated patches of the beach and hillside.
I broke the rules with this composition and had equal amount of sky and sea. I felt each had an equal part to play in this image and I had been unable to make different proportions of sky and sea work as well. The farm cottage and buildings, dwarfed by the sea and cloud, added important scale and acts as a focal point for the eye to settle after exploring the cloud and sea. I just had to wait for a patch of sunlight to reach the cottage and act as a natural spotlight.
