Portreath Pepperpot Sun Burst
The Daymark that sits atop the cliff overlooking Portreath beach is otherwise known as The Pepperpot, and, as were its intentions, stands out triumphantly against the rugged north facing cliff from both the sand and the sea.
I am always looking for unique landmarks in my photography and The Pepperpot always seems to draw me in when I visit Portreath. For this photography, Portreath Pepperpot Sun Burst, I wanted to give the Daymark a sense of place and in the height of summer there was plenty of colour along the cliff top to choose from. I gave myself plenty of time to find the perfect spot. Manoeuvring my way carefully around the wildlife, I was happy to find a large patch of Heather, close enough to the edge of the cliff where I would still be able to have a clear sight of the tide rolling onto the soft sand below.
I monitored the sun closely and made micro adjustments as it moved behind the Pepperpot, waiting for the perfect moment to capture the sunburst. The shadow of the Pepperpot subtly descends across the frame.
Portreath Pepperpot Sunburst is a vibrant and colourful photograph that makes the Cornish coast alive with beauty.
