I waited pretty well all year to get this shot, at this time of the year the sun is at its most southerly point (when rising off the eastern horizon) and it just lines up with this channel at Little Bay NSW.

After today, it (the sun) basically starts heading north again and becomes obscured by the cliffs on the left of this picture. I had only one opportunity to get this shot, I had planned to get to the spot numerous times in the past weeks, but life, family and work came as a priority. I would have been pretty bent if the sunrise was crap, which it nearly was, sprinkling rain threatened to dislodge my plans, but fortunately it came together and there was just a thin band of clear sky on the horizon allowing the sun to sneak through for only a few minutes.

Nicely done mother nature, where would I be without ya 🙂

Pretty tricky scene, lots of lines and uneven horizon and a super bright spot where the sun was. For this image I blended a few images together to capture that dynamic range in the sun., All manually blended in +Adobe Photoshop
