Fantastic! There’s a great sense of peace in this photo. I only wish I could get such a shot!
SineadHi Sinead – don’t “Wish” you could take such a shot – just GO take it this weekend.
All you need is a camera ( i presume you have one), a tripod and perhaps a ND4 Cokin P filter system (approx £25 and available in Jessops).
If you didn’t have a filter – take two exposures ( Sky & foreground and use Photoshop or Elements to blend them)
Frame your shot in Live view if possible, AV mode at f/16, IOS 100, countdown timer or a wired shutter cable and bang.
You live only 90 min from some of Northern Irelands most stunning seascapes ( Ballycastle, Portrush & Portstewert). I wish i did.
Cheak out Gary’s site for all the right places to go.

Tomorrow at sunset you could have a stunning image to.
The hard part is getting the location and framing a good shot

Thanks Brendan for sharing all this information. I plan on getting out to capture a sunset very soon; I did get a lovely one in Donegal a few years ago but as yet have been unable to replicate it – family commitments and lack of time being my real reasons!!
However, I do have a great camera and a fab wide angle lens – but unfortunately a useless Jessops tripod which has never worked for me and no filters aside from UV. I’m also not very proficient on Photoshop just yet, although I have taken several evening courses which helped enormously and I have a couple of great books but I need to get around to practising the skills within!!
I’m hoping to treat myself to a new tripod and a few filters soon and then there’ll be no stopping me! I’m going to keep a note of your suggestions so I can try them out and I’ll let you know how I get on.
Thanks again for your advice :)

Hi John.
Lovely shot but I would get rid of the frame as I find it distracting on the right due to the highlights. Well donemiki g wrote:
