I've posted photos from this location before, but I don't think I've ever had this combination of tide, light and clouds. This is Victoria Beach, site of the oft photographed tower. In fact, if you look closely there is a couple there having their engagement photos taken. It's difficult to get the shot without people crawling around the tower, so I guess if you're going to have people you might as well have photogenic people in it. I slowed the shutter down to 2 seconds to get a nice milky texture in the water, and I have to say I'm quite pleased with the effect.
@redy4et Thanks Elizabeth. It was a strange late day, rather cloudy all day, but about 30 minutes prior to sunset, the sun popped out from behind the cloud bank and gave us those great golden hour tones. There's only a limited time when you can get that light on the Victoria Tower as the sun sets so dramatically north as the weeks go on at this time of year.
