After seeing Tobers' thread about the 5.15am start , it feels like cheating to admit that I only had to get out a little after 7am to grab this in Brittany this morning .
No saturation boost here at all - but this level of intensity only lasted for a few seconds. By the time I'd tried to find a better composition it was all but over.

Wow that's pretty stunning! Lovely light. You really need to get your timing right and be prepared for these dont you.

Stunning image..... definitely a case of right place, right time.

Superb, get that one on Canvas

As someone who would love to get that:

- What f stop was this?
- What shutter speed?
- What iso?

Great pic.

Thanks Senu
I'd just add that I used a Lee 2 stop hard GND to balance sky & sand.

Wish I knew how to see these coming. In my experience the best sunrises / sunsets seem to come from the most unpromising conditions and disappear in no time at all.
