I decided to get back into coastal photography after my recent diversions exploring other ideas. So I headed off to my nearest beach which is Seaham harbour & was delighted to see a wonderfull firey dawn popping up over the horizon. Thanks to Anthony Hall for his filter tips, I used a Lee 0.9nds for the sky as normal & a Lee 0.6nds inverted & leveled on the horizon to control the powerfull sunrise. Recon I wont bother saving up for a singh ray reverse nd grad now :-) Exif info... iso 100, exposure 1 sec, aperture f11, focal length 17mm, manual mode, white balance auto. Processed in ACR. Vivenza to balance the forground light/darkness then colour efex pro to add a little tone to the sea & rocks

Exquisite sunrise. Your techniques (filters and post work) have created another professional grade photo.

This is a gorgeous capture. You lost me with all the technical talk, but if that's what it takes to get these kinds of pics I need to learn. Fantastic capture.

Stunning visuals, with the sky seemingly going one way and the waves another. Love the lighting and details on those rocks. Thank you for sharing it!

Ok..so very jealous of your coastline you have there! This is simply by far on the best I have seen yet. I just love how the red color is captured throughout the water.

WOW .. what a great comeback piece.. stunning colours in the sky, wonderful composition, the smokey water across the dark stones gives the feel you can reach out and touch them.. Beautiful work
