Last Light on the Seven Sisters
By Edd Allen

tripod, LEE filters
‘I’m a photographer from Eastbourne. I love exploring the
local coastline and woodland looking for new photographic
opportunities. This was taken at Birling Gap in East Sussex.
Conditions were looking promising, so I made a quick dash to
catch the sunset. I was rewarded with some wonderful light
breaking through and illuminating the Seven Sisters. The
moment only lasted a few minutes, but I was glad I’d made
the effort. I used various filters to control the intense light and
a tripod to steady my camera against the incoming tide.’ Edd

An Idleyld Fall

‘I started getting into photography
about three years ago. My main focus is
landscape as well as street photography
but over the last year I have branched
out into whitewater sports as well as
band photography – both have been
extremely rewarding. The settings I
chose for this picture allowed me to get
the creamy and dreamy look that I
wanted in the falls while also keeping
focus throughout the scene, with little
noise. Hiking with my tripod for a mile
was essential in getting the shot that I
had envisioned.’ See more at http://www.
