Going on the beach as the sun goes away is also a great time to capture very saturated colours. The left hand image above of the breakwater (we call them groynes here in Dorset by the way) with the low angle sunshine is a great example of the clarity and beauty of the evening light when the sun actually shines in the UK. I have no other reason to post this picture than to show that every once in a while you get light so pure, so perfect that no amount of lighting can improve upon it.
The picture on the right of the sun going down over the cliff tops is another story. I was walking on my own and took an EOS50D along for the fun of it. I didn't have anyone to photograph and my lights were back in the car anyway so I had to shoot the sky whilst wishing I had someone interesting in front of the camera! This kind of sky seems to be most common at the end of the summer and into early autumn. I'm looking forward to a few more and, with luck, I'll get to shoot some portraits with them too.
