I shoot at sunrise a lot, and definitely prefer it to sunset. When I get somewhere and the day looks like it'll start out cloudy I'm usually disappointed, but I think the weather on this particular morning turned out better than if the sun decided to show up. It turned out to be a more dramatic scene than I originally thought I'd capture here. Definitely better seen large on black. Rain bands were sweeping across the ocean on the left, right where the sun was trying to burn through (unsuccessfully). I was trying to capture the suds steaming across the rocks in the foreground on the left, so when I caught a few shots of it I figured I shouldn't push my luck with the water. The waves weren't too bad, but there was some mist and splashing so I didn't stay in this spot too long. My Blog | Google+ | Twitter
