Tim Parkin - Landscape Photographer

The sun had failed to produce anything particularly amazing when it broke the horizon and quickly wandered behind a dense wedge of dark cloud. I was walking around talking to a couple of people and started to notice the sun trying to fight out of the top of the wedge and in doing creating a particularly cold, winter light (including the hint of a sundog or parhelia to be correct). I was already looking at some of the dark volcanic rocks and particularly at the way an inlet was providing a line that continued the radiating arcs of waves and seaweed (all radiating from the middle left of the main shot). The final composition worked as a big zig-zag from bottom right to lower left to middle right to upper left..
