I took this early one morning whilst on holiday in Spain. Me and my Mum dragged ourselves out of bed after a night of tossing and turning in the ridiculously high temperature at about 6:00am to catch the sunrise over the beach. We were rewarded with an incredible display of colours and lots of photo opportunities :-)

This was a 1 second exposure to add movement to the sea and clouds. I used a polarizing filter to add contrast and saturation and a medium ND Grad to balance out the exposure between the sky and sea.

I hope you like it!

Hello Joe,.
'Red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning!' I wonder if you had a rainy day after this? Very well done, you don't often see sunrise captures posted from holidaymakers! I love the light and the colours, the almost smooth sea and the fluffy cloud formations. A fine composition!
TFS and regards, Ulla

Hi Joe,

Surprise - a sunrise. Nothing like a sunrise or a sunset over the sea. I must admit I generally miss the sunrise. Beautiful colors and amazing clouds in the sky. A very lovely seascape and a superb composition.

Super Joey. this one goes to show how you are not just good at macros or close up or portrait but an all around imager. Very nicely done. Pleasant!

Ciao Joe,
bellissimo paesaggio con il bel movimento creato dalle nuvole che avanzano accompagnando le onde, splendida la luce dell'alba che illumina l'orizzonte dipingendolo con magnifici colori.
TFS.

Hi Joe

So...i see you are using filters now, too :)
Very nice work here, mate! I guess the best idea was to get up early for the sunrise...especially since it was so hot during the night, too.
The clouds here are gorgeous and they create a superb pattern...you did well to balance your composition on them.
The tones around the horizon are very nice, too...but perhaps a bit too dark for me (but who knows...maybe this time its my monitor :))
Anyway, that aside, i really like positioning of those far away cliffs, too; they anchor the entire scene and give it a lot of balance.
Nicely done!

Bravo and TFS
Horia

Hi Joe!

Sky is really heavy and full of colours on this picture. Great reward for early wake up. Very good use of filters - all picture is well exposured with visible details. What can I say - thanks for this holidays reminder :-)

Hi Joe,
It's a beautiful seascape, with a curious formation of clouds and beautiful colors. The 1 second exposure makes a strange but interesting effect. I hope you had a good stay in Spain.
With my best regards
Maite

Don't know how i issed this one! Great see to a landscape from you and it's a real beauty too. Very nice composition and the colours are amazing. DOF is excellent at f/5.0, but i think you may have a little barrel distortion...could just be me though. Anyhow, hope to see more like this from you.
