Summary
[edit]DescriptionSt Mawes.jpg |
St Mawes is a lovely little town in Cornwall, opposite Falmouth. It lies on the east bank of the Carrick Roads, a large waterway created after the Ice Age from an ancient valley which flooded as the melt waters caused the sea level to rise dramatically, creating an immense natural harbour, often claimed to be the third largest in the world. St. Mawes has a lovely festival in August every year where they light up the town and have music, local events etc. I was on the pier that evening and shot this, which came out remarkably well considering I'd only just had this camera for a few days and hadn't shot anything in literally 20 years! I'd thoroughly recommend this town for an afternoon's stroll if you're down in Cornwall for the Summer holidays - the icecream shop is to die for and my kids love crabbing off the pier in the early evening. From a technical perspective this photo came out nicely - I shot at night just as dusk was falling so I managed to retain some of that blue graduation in the sky and on the reflection, which is rather nice. The boats in the foreground make the picture really - a perfectly tranquil scene in a gorgeous Cornish town. |
