Location
Flamborough Head in East Yorkshire, UK is a stunning place with its rugged chalk stone cliffs, this part of it is located just two minutes south east of the LighthouseTime
I had just purchased a set of reverse graduated filters and was hoping to get out for sunrise to test them, with it being Febuary I set offout at 7:00am and captured this shot at about 7:40am on 29th Febuary 2016Lighting
As the sun was positioned on the horizon I used a three stop reverse graduated filter to balance the light and achieved quite pleasing results with very little processingEquipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF17-40mm f/4L USM, tripod, cable release and a Formatt hitech 3 stop reverse graduatred filterInspiration
This is a location I visit frequently and know very well the tide was at a reasonable level, I checked the photographers ephimeris the night before for sunrise direction and decided this would be a good spot to try my new filtersEditing
