Collywell Bay, Seaton Sluice

I was missing the cold wetness of getting soaked to the bollocks in the North Sea, so I took a short drive across to Collywell Bay in Seaton Sluice this morning to shoot St. Mary’s Lighthouse.

I was running late, and by the time I got there I didn’t have time to change into my trusty waders, so I had to go down onto the rocks in my trainers. This wasn’t too bad, but the tide was coming in fast, and with 5 minute exposures, the sea was sloshing around my ankles by the time I got some decent shots.

It wasn’t until I’d been there for about 15 minutes that I realised I was sitting in some other photographer’s shot! Really sorry, whoever you are; I hate it when people do that to me. I’m just a skinny wee fella, so hopefully I wasn’t too much trouble to remove!

Despite being out of practice with long exposures and becoming photoshop-fodder in someone else’s picture, I came away with some okay shots. Nothing startling or new, but nice nonetheless, and hopefully something a little different from the usual shots we see of the lighthouse.
