I went out this morning despite the weather being severely over cast and raining all night. I anticipated somthing was going to happen at sunrise and if it didn't, what the hell.

I walked out to the Dolphins at Lepe again in hopes that a sunrise might break through. It did eventually but only when the sun was much too high in the sky.

I love the cloud movement in this shot. My only issue with it is that I had to cut the exposure short by 2-3 minutes beacuse the tide was coming in and if i'd left it another 3 minutes I would of been knee deep in sea water. Usually that happens anyway but I was more concerned about my camera.

Anyway the image was a tad underexposed but I brought it back ok I think. I have another perfectly exposed shot from pretty much the same position but I prefer the sky in this shot. Its more dramatic.

enjoy.

This is a hard one to critique, I love the whole scene, composition, exposure thirds with that rock in the foreground. Not a lot to critique on here.

The only real critique I can give is mainly the horizon is on a lean to the right which is quite distracting, clashing with the composition. Also underexposed shot, there is a bit of visible digital noise in the photo which isn't that attractive but the dark vignette kind of hides it, so it's not really an issue for me.

I think you've done a great job in capturing this scene, just a little more time and it'd be perfect! Cheers!

Hot damn man. Worth the wetness. What filters were you using on this one? Good job saving the underexposed shot, might do some noise ninja to get rid of any noise. Rockin shot

the noise is acceptable and won't be visible in print version. I don't use noise ninja or any other noise reduction tools for that matter (don't have any!)

This was a BW 10 stop ND + Lee 0.6 Hard ND Grad to balance the sky. Glad you like.
