This photograph was made on probably the windiest day during 2011.
I always love to be 'out and about' during inclement weather, there is something about these days that just make it more exciting to be trying to capture mother nature and all that she has to throw at you!
I literally strapped myself to the railings here as the wind blew in from the south west and it was a really tough task to keep the tripod, filters and camera gear steady enough to make the shot at the shutter speed that I wanted.
This is The North Pier at Tynemouth and I witnessed some delightful crepuscular rays shining through the clouds. So pleased I'd made the effort to be out there!

Shot detail: Canon 1D MKIV, 17-40mm f4 lens, ISO 50, f16 and 1/8th of a second exposure. Lee 0.6 GNDH + 0.9 GNDS filters
