As night falls Instow

I know, I said yesterday’s photo was the last one but I keep finding more I like! This was from the night I met Tim Barker. I love the way the sunlight reflecting on the water turned into just glints of light as the reflection got closer to me. Editing was pretty minimal on this image, slight colour correction and a little curves adjustment was about it. I had to use ISO400 because as usual, I left my tripod in the car. Am I the only photographer that sees the tripod as a hindrance 90% of the time? I just prefer the freedom in composing shots hand held.
