Another shot of the powerful waves at Sennen Cove in Cornwall, UK, taken on my trip there last month. The title of the shot (an intended pun) would be familiar for my colleagues in my field of work 😉

When we arrived, the windy conditions at St Ives, Cornwall made photography tricky. I had to be wary of the sand particles being blown into my camera while changing lenses. At the same time, the strong winds of up to 55 miles per hour made standing and even hand-holding the camera a definite challenge. The surfers that we encountered on the beach had a fun time on the other hand, enjoying the strong waves brought about by the extremely blustery conditions.

The weather we experienced in Cornwall on our latest trip was one of the coldest and wettest in all the trips I have made to the region. We were fortunate to get a day of relatively good sunshine (in between taking cover in our rental car from the spells of strong winds and rain). Arriving at Sennen Cove, we were impressed by the strong waves crashing into the coast. I thought the lighting was just perfect to capture the power of the waves exploding into the rocky coast.
