Across the beach on Berneray towards the open sea and the offshore island of Spuir silhoutted against an intense sunset crack squeezing between the darkening sky and sea.

I'd travelled to Berneray specifically to shoot long exposures in the extended summer twilight of late July when, at this time of year, it seldom gets fully dark. I wanted to return, in my opinion to the finest beach in Scotland, after a similar shoot here with a poorer camera a few years previous. In all I managed two nights where the conditions turned out right with light bouncing from the sea below the horizon to light the cloud layer above and also produce some intense after sunset colour.
