"The wind was ferocious and the sea spray was relentless, making it difficult to keep my lens clean," says photographer caught in one of Britain's wildest storms

Instead of sheltering inside when one of Britain's biggest storms battered the coast, landscape photographer, Edyta Rice, headed out with her Nikon D850 and Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR to capture the action. The resulting image is a black-and-white photograph of Porthcawl Lighthouse, South Wales, surrounded by crashing waves.

Edyta told me: "I wanted to capture the raw power of nature and the resilience of the structures built to withstand such forces. The sheer size of the waves, and the way they engulfed the lighthouse, made for an incredible scene that I knew had to be photographed."
