There’s nothing so ephemeral as sun rays through cloud, shifting as the clouds move and the sun declines... They’re moments of time never to be recaptured, yet can be frozen in images (I almost typed ‘on film’) for posterity. I took a series of frames when nature made this show as heavy weather blew up over Hastings, on November 15th, 2012. I was on my fifth UK trip, visiting towns in the south, and Hastings turned on some thick weather. The camera chip handled the contrast amazingly. While the pictures looking away from the sun were flat and soft, as is to be expected on such a grey day, when looking toward the spectacle over the Channel the sense of “light in the darkness” came through profoundly.
