    The area is called Strumble Head, I think it should be called Stumble Head.

    I hate non-level sea in photos. It's amazing how sensitive one's eye is... even under 0.5° is disturbing.

    As Bob Ross used to say, "if you don't get ya water level, it'll pour out the side of ya paintin'."

    At least the picture has proved that the world isn't flat.

    Yeah, it's typical even the sea is hilly in Wales.

    Makes me feel better about the crooked shot I was picked up on a few weeks ago. At least I don't claim to be even an amateur photographer and just snap things that catch my attention on my phone!

    I use a simple android app called Photo Editor for straightening phone photos... it crops them automatically too.

    I've started using the rotate function on the standard photo software on my Android phone.

    Rarely satisfied with my rainbow photos. This one, from the back of the house just now, is just about OK, I suppose.

    If you have the opportunity try a lower vantage point with a ND Grad filter on the sky.
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Back to back storms have certainly stirred the sea up.

    I quite like this view from earlier today, on the way back home from buying some milk.

    That's some dramatic scenery, but the shop looks like it needs a bit of TLC.

    Things didn't develop quite as hoped for but no point in driving for nothing.

    Just a few miles west of a site visit in Rosyth.

    For those who like cats and/or churches.

    I like cats and churches, so it's win win. I think those cats are suspicious about the camera.

    Last light at the beach.

    A bit picky but the balance would have been better if they had been walking towards the sun. Nice light and shot.

    I arrived late, and the sun dropped like a stone. I was about to take another shot of a dog walker, but they suddenly about turned. I was quite lucky getting this to be honest.

    It's really rude of strangers not to do what you want them to for that perfect shot.

    Usually in my case it's people standing right in the line of fire for the view that I want to take, and they just stand there, looking at the view. B@stards.

    Both of the above are very relatable.

    I think the figures off centre gives the pic a sort of contemporary feel.
    That sunset alone with no figures is worthy picture. Did you get any @masjer?

    This is when I first arrived (only about 5mins before doggy shot). The sunset never really formed, but the mirror reflection in the sand worked quite well.

    That ^ hasn't got the richness or depth of the doggy shot unfortunately.

    Oh, I agree, and it is better than the shot without them. I just thought it would be better it taken a minute or so earlier with them to the right of the sun.
    Sun left 1/3, dog central, walker right 1/3 maybe. Too structured? Sun central, dog and walker to the right walking into the shot.

    Once the sun dropped below the horizon, the sky got an orange glow. Before nada.
