6/13/06 - Beach Sunrise

Sunrise on the shore of Lake Michigan from a slightly different perspective - flat on the sand.
The light was really difficult; ended up flipping my graduated neutral density filter upside down so that the clear portion was over the upper part of the sky and the light was held back for the lower 2/3 of the image. This darkened the sand (unfortunately) but kept the mid part of the image from blowing out.
At the Glen Haven area of Sleeping Bear Dunes; Pyramid Point in the background. Quite a contrast with the same spot yesterday moring as seen here - http://www.pbase.com/ed_k/image/61775355

I really like what you've done with this sunrise. Your filtration is just right. I have to admit that I would probably have fallen back on bracketing and some Photoshop magic in the ol' digital darkroom. I'm always impressed by photographers who take the time and get it right in camera.
Voted.
