This image was captured on the September day that I accompanied a party of school children from Kelsall near Chester along the beach. I had been invited to give a talk about photography of the figures on the beach and demonstrate how to get the best views.
It was an ideal day for photography, a late morning high tide was on the turn on a blustery day which had started off showery but the clouds were now breaking up and beams of sunlight were breaking through.
This was one of the first pictures I demonstrated, comparing the iron figures with the industrial iron work in the background, using a longer lens brings several of the sculptures into the image and adjusts the perspective so that they appear closer together. As we walked back along the beach towards Hall Road the sky cleared further casing the wet sands to glisten in the sunlight with the still rough seas in the background. A bracing day that produced some good images for everyone. The children were inspired by their visit and produced good pictures and poetry as a record of their trip. The school used this image on the cover of a book they produced about their day on the beach.
