SHOT OF THE MONTH

About the shot: “Newhaven never disappoints when there are strong winds. The ideal conditions are high tide and a strong easterly or westerly wind – and on this day, I was not disappointed. The west side of the harbour offers good perspectives by including the curving harbour wall. The wind made it difficult to stand still whilst composing the shot, however, once I had my position sorted, it was just a question of waiting for the right wave.”
