1 ‘Outlook’ by Liam Willis
“This image was shot in Cuckmere Haven, near Seaford in East Sussex. I like the way that as the sun came up, not only did it create a haze on the horizon, engulfing the Belle Tout Lighthouse seen in the distance, but it also cast a golden light on the iconic chalk cliffs. It’s always a really small window of time when the sky is full of colour for sunrise and sunset, so I love the way it hasn’t just captured the golden glow but also a small gap looking up at the blue sky. These coastguard cottages have to offer some of the best sunrise views in the country.
“I keep an eye on multiple weather apps for the cloud coverage and height in the hope of getting a good sunrise. When the forecast looks promising, I travel out for the sunrise. On this trip, I was hoping to capture some of the path leading down to the cottages, instead of just the cottages and the chalky cliffs. I wanted to capture the light and shadows on the pathway down to the cottages shortly after the sun came up. There was a golden glow shining on the path as it melted away the frost. I also wanted to capture the sun-kissed cliffs as the low sun projected its golden glow on them.” Instagram: @MrLiamWillis
Digital Camera says:
This is a gorgeous image. It’s a famous British coastal scene but the light breaking into the pathway draws your eye towards the coastline in the distance. This is a beautifully composed shot with great use of natural light.
