Golden fog

Some quite remarkable weather allowed me to take this capture. Those

who wish to follow the sequence of events can view them in the

seascapes in my new photos folder. Dawn was quite clear with a few

thin clouds on the horizon that produced a blazing sunrise

("Fantasy"). The colours persisted for some time allowing the

following shots "Dreaming", "Afterglow" & "Impact", all taken in

clear conditions with warm colours in the sky. Suddenly the fog

rolled in and the low angle of the sun filtering through gave this

gold colouration. I took this shot with a wave crashing superimposed

on the sun early on. Shortly after visibility was extremely poor and

there were no worthwhile shots on offer. 1/2 an hour later everything

cleared to reveal a cloudless clear sunny day. A 3 stop hard ND grad

was required to balance out the sky & sun.

I'd say you handled the exposure pretty well considering the having te entire sun in the shot. I really like how you caught the wave tickling the sun's bottom.

Thanks Will, yes an exposure with some difficulties. The light was changing rapidly and I only took a few shots before the fog engulfed everything. I was hoping to get a diffraction star with the wave in front of the sun, but was happy with this dramatic result in any case.

Amazing and stunning!!! And thanks for the info and your unselfish thought. :0))

Different! Very nicely captured and composed.

Good photo and exposure and compositon. If the sun is not there it would be much better on my taste

I like this one... great capture... regards

Thank you guys. I am pleased you like it as it differs in many ways from my other seascapes. Jeffrey, thank you for your thoughts however, without the sun & wave the shot would have a totally different mood. To me it is a focal point that really brings drama to the scene.

Excelente imagen de gran belleza. perfecta luz, color y magnifica composicion, con un bello encuadre, saludos cordiales Kah.

Excellent. Well done

Really amazing kah. The splash infront of the sun is very unique. Nice job keeping some space obove the sun so not to crowd it. For it is the main subject and the space around it allows it to stand out. I only wish you could have got this shot two minutes later. I still find it amazing. Your photos keep getting better and better. Best Wishes.

Excellent Kah. I love the spray in front of the sun and the whole atmosphere of the scene. regards, Neil

The photographer who never gives up on the shoot is most often rewarded, very good Kah ~ GT

A superb landscape. What is so unique is the waves crashing 'through' the sun over the low horizon. Magical moment & great lighting + exposure.

The sun through the crashing wave is great. Fantastic

light, composition and timing. Congrats.

A magic light fills completely the scene, sensational the textures and the tones. The sea water and the wave breaking, are fantastic. Best regards

Superb light and colors, well composed seascape. The wave crashing is the icing on the cake. The slight barrel distortion is nice, adds to the feeling of space here. But I would rotate a wee bit clockwise

Thank you for all the numerous ratings and encouraging critiques. This is one of my favourite seascapes I have shot so I am pleased that this has been positively received. Carsten I also noticed yesterday that a small rotation is in order to correct for the tilted horizon.

Simply one of your best!! Fantastic pikture! you captured the right moment.
