Portknockie Bloom

Portknockie, Moray, Scotland.

This is a true transient light moment. The sun had already risen and within seconds of doing so it had become too bright to get a photograph without significant flare. I noticed that fractionally above the horizion was a very thin skein of cloud and I waited for a minute or so for the sun to pass through it and then squeezed off one shot, flare spots were absent. The thrift were never-the-less sufficiently backlit to glow and the exposure was very pleasing. All in all it is probably my defining shot of this wondeful place.
