Surf in Hull

At certain times of the year the wreck of the Helvetia is more exposed and makes an interesting foreground to Worms Head. At these times there are often several photographers set up ready to take their particular shot. This particular evening I thought I had timed everything just right and I was there, on my own, setting up my tripod. But the tide was on the way out and there was nowhere dry for me to place my camera bag so I had to run back up the beach for a suitable spot. I took out everything I wanted and went back to the tripod. Believe it or not I actually missed the best shot, but as my mind's image of that lost shot fades and I look at this one I am pleased.

Because of the low light I had to take a longish exposure and it has created the frothiness inside the hulk as the waves moved about inside.
