This one is for the very nice family I met today on the beach. They took 5 minutes out of ther day to ask about 5 minutes of mine. They will perhaps never see this shot. Today was long over due, have spent way to much time at work over the last few weeks. All the extra hours did have one benifit, a Sigma 10-20 lens.........very nice.
Back to the shot, it was 7.15am, and was a bit mad with myself as overslept, missed the most stunning red sunrise, the only consilation was as I drove East, I got to see it. I stood alone on the most stunning beach, they sand fresh from all the rain on Friday. I felt so alive in the fresh air.
Sorry havent had alot of time to look over all your work, will catch up soon......hope you enjoy, and as always thanks for your comments.
Paul.

Good use of the wide angle and long exposure, Paul. The effect on the clouds looks good and keeping the sun to the side of the image makes a fine composition.

Hi Paul
No looking back now tou have that lens. That feeling of being away from the crowds in the great outdoors but with a sense of purpose is really life enhancing. Beautiful elements in the shot. That w/a will always render subjects that loom large to the eyes as miniscule features like the buoy in my Nash Pt shots which is really big in reality. That's why it's often about fg and getting in very close to your visual anchor closest to the lens. The glass can be a few feet from it. Here the fg boulder appears cropped a bit tight at the bottom of the frame and silhouetted. Shadows are of course important but the Siggie could have shown more detail had it been a bit closer. Anyway, the image has lovely elements and great mood. Enjoy the lens.

The warm tones from the early morning sunlight look great Paul, and with the added bonus of the 10 stop filter adds another dimension to this wonderful panoramic image with great effect. You will have to set the alarm clock just a little bit earlier my friend,LOL, Wonderful result from the new lens, it was worth all of the hard work to earn it. Well done, Bill.
Just like to say thanks for all the great comments today. Ann its nice when your trying out new kit to have a helping hand, looking in from another view. The very nice comment made by Alun, I think is just about spot on.
Thanks again to all...........
Paul.
