St. Simons Sunrise

Description

Taken at St. Simons Island on 9-19-08. I used a 2-stop graduated neutral density filter to obtain the photo of this magnificent sunrise. It was processed as a pseudo HDR image in Photomatix Pro. I then applied the following NIK Color Efex Pro filters in this order: Brilliance/Warmth, Color Contrast Range, Graduated Neutral Density, Tonal Contrast.The crepuscular rays in the sky and the rain on the horizon were provided by Mother Nature in all her splendid glory. f/16 1/15 sec. ISO 100 10-22mm lens @ 10mm. Category: Composition Rule of Thirds - The horizon is placed below center to emphasize the sky. The dock is placed to provide leading lines into the photo.

Exif: F Number: 16, ExposureTime: 6666/100000 seconds, ISO: 100, FocalLength: 10.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 20D
