Porthcothan Bay Feathered Water
Porthcothan was a beach I was previously unaware of before doing some research and taking the trip over from Newquay in mid summer.
Located between Newquay and Padstow, Porthcothan is perhaps one of the forgotten beaches of the North Coast of Cornwall, so I was very pleased to rediscover it over the course of a beautiful sunset. Back in 2014, storms at Porthcothan knocked down the rock archway that dominated the Southern part of the beach, leaving a much more exposed and open formation of rock. I used this new horizon to my advantage and set myself into a position to capture the light in the former archway.
With plenty of energy in the sea I set the camera into a low position and allow the sweeping current to rush to the foreground of the photograph, with the hints of light hidden on the wet sand underneath. The sweeping water leads the viewers eye into the centre of the photograph of dramatic low light and rugged rock formations.
