Description
Checked the weather for Saturday and the forecast called for low lying clouds and low tide which are great elements for a seascape sunrise. The clouds provide a natural diffusion for the sun's light and particles that make them up bring out colors we normally associate with sunrises and sunsets. Low tide gives the opportunity to build your foreground by looking for interesting patterns or in this case pools of reflection. The next challenge is to balance the exposure. By this you are trying to keep the details and color in your image while compensating for bright light of the sun. To do this I frequently used ND filters and or a polarizing filter. Your aim is to hold back the light from the rising sun giving the camera an opportunity to capture the other details of the image. This particular image I shot at f20 because even with the filters the light from the was extremely bright. It was a beautiful day
