So the morning turn out much better then I thought it would after almost heading home on two separate occasions I had a wonderful sunrise with some awesome colors . Now I am ready to leave as the sun is up and the color is fading from the sky so I grab my tripod and start to walk up the beach when i notice some god beams starting to form as the sun slides behind the cloud bank could I really be this lucky. I set up another composition and start to taking images alternating the exposure for the sky and the beach as the clouds become backlit and the beams radiate towards the heavens. I have been working some crazy hours lately and do not get out to photograph as much as I would like so when I get a morning like this I truly appreciate it.
Canon 6D, 17-40 f/4 at 17mm, .8s at f/16 for the sky and 2s at f/16 for the beach, Manual Exposure, Evaluative Metered, ISO 50, Tripod, Two image blend usual PS and Nik filters applied.
