Shadowy Groynes at Sunset

An ICM shot of the setting sun. The lens was swung horizontally meaning the sun left a trail on the horizon and the groynes in the sea are like transparent shadows

As the sun sets, one thing I like to do is intentionally moving the camera lens, so the resulting picture is more abstract, but still captures the colours and shadows of the sunset.

This is what I did in Youghal a few months ago with Blarney Photography Club. Standing in the water, I swung the lens horizontally. The sun had almost set, so it caused a streak at the horizon and the groynes in the water looked like shadowy transparent obstructions.
