World Photography Day

Changing the date of world photography day may be a help, last year it rained hard and we managed a few shots from under an umbrella, this year the day has been overcast with very flat light and drizzle, had to wait until the very back end of the day to find light good enough for a few images,
This is our local beach on Bridgwater Bay at Burnham on Sea and this low tide image features the Lower Lighthouse with another lighthouse just visible on Flat Holm Island in the distance,

Shot in B&W because I foolishly had the 24-240 lens on the camera which really does not cope with low light like my usual 28-70 f4.

Black and white works really well here Roger. A super shot capturing both the very attractive old stilted lower lighthouse and the Flat Holm one too. The figures give a sense of scale. A beautiful, timeless image perfect for World Photography Day

Black and white works perfectly well for this picture, Roger. It seems to emphasise the distance by eliminating distracting colour. (Of course, YMMV.) I agree also with Ecobird about the timeless nature of the image.
