While out with some of the Cape Town Photography Society Club (CTPS) members on Saturday evening at Milnerton Beach, Woodbridge Island, for a Long Exposure photography session.

While it was freezing, and everybody was facing the ocean, I turned my camera / tripod around 'to see what is on the opposite side' of Milnerton Beach - and how I could integrate the Milnerton Lighthouse into the image (with some of the other ambient lighting options).
