'Crescent', shot in Cornwall, The United Kingdom. This shot has a very special place in my heart. I had heard about Porth Navern in Cornwall but had never visited it before. On the day of buying my new Nikon D700 camera I headed down to this hidden bay with great hope. Not really knowing how to use this specific camera I set the D700 to it's most basic mode and attached me cable release. After a little wondering around I found this viewpoint. I wanted to document a magical moment like no other but convey a sense of perspective of life. After one of the most epic sunsets I had ever seen I was very happy. I love how the smallest element in this shot is the most influential. Without the moon the tides would not change, coastal erosion would be significantly different and the egg shaped boulders here would not exist. This is one of my most treasured photographs.
