Charlestown Coastline
During a summer visit to Charlestown on the south coast of Cornwall, I took a walk to seek out an interesting vantage point of the harbour. It was early evening and the sun was gradually beginning to lower in the sky, sending shafts of light across the coastline and drenching the harbour walls. Shadows of the hedgerows and treelines stretch across the open fields, capturing the warmth of a quiet summer evening.
Being the height of summer, the treelines and vegetation were quite overgrown, but I knew they had the potential to be useful for framing my shot. I found this vantage point which has a great balance of Charlestown harbour and the coastline in the background, with dappled sunshine hitting the foreground.
As I was setting up the shot, I noticed some gig rowers preparing to head out to sea. I waited, hoping to be able to incorporate them into the scene, and was rewarded when they rowed directly out of the centre of the harbour. This small detail of capturing the gig rowers adds to the storytelling of Cornish life.
