I thought I'd post this shot of one of my failed attempts to get the sunrise at Cambois.
It's a fine line how far you push your luck with camera placement for a shot isn't it. The camera here was on a carrier bag on the wet sand. I wanted the tide to come right up to the lens but not actually touch it (obviously). This was a shot when it didn't.
When taking a shot of the sunrise you have only got about 4 mins of "perfect" sun placement on the horizon and so many things have to come together - clouds, tide, reflected light etc. So if you're doing a LE you have only really 4-5 shots to nail it.
I'm babbling on like this to show my appreciation to all of my friends who post fantastic sunrises/sunset shots - I know how hard you all work for your shot, and like me you have a hard drive full of "almosts" but the effort is so worth it.
Hats off to you all.
