On The Beach

On The Beach. On the shore at Dunwich on the East Anglian coast, on New Year's Day 2001. A sudden burst of sunshine lasting only a few minutes. Luckily I had a 200mm lens on the F3 and had just gone back to fetch a tripod. Time for a dozen shots before the light went, as the groups of people (and one or two dogs) walked towards me; this was number 11, about the only one where the foreground couple is large enough in the frame to be a centre of interest, and there are no serious overlaps of the figures in the distance.
