Waiting for Sunrise

Waiting for the Sunrise at Castle Cove Dartmouth
Waiting for the Sunrise
Alarm goes of at 4:00am, you leave the house in the dark and head off to your location to see if today will be the sunrise, that will set apart from all the others you have seen. Recently, when I was endeavouring to capture one such sunrises on the Devon coast in Dartmouth, the Weather forecast the night before was perfect a couple of light clouds that usually add to the dramatic feel of most of my shots.

I arrive at my location at 4:45 and then start waiting for the sunrise, hoping everything will fall into place, exposure set on what I estimate it will be I relax and wait. As all Landscape photographers will know you are not always greeted with that outstanding display of nature you anticipated but one completely different. This was one of those occasions, what I thought would be a dramatic and inspiring sunrise was in fact a very stormy foreboding scene that excited me to capture the emotion this venue stirred in me. Always rewarding even waiting for the sunrise that didn’t unfold still enabled me to capture such a stunning displays of the force of nature.
