Sunrise Silhouettes

A coastal sunrise from the Oregon Coast from a few years back. The image was taken with very minimal light visible yet so good colors down near the horizon but still too dark for any illumination of the sea stacks.

C&C always welcome.

Very nice! Love the beautiful colored sky and its reflection against the dark beach and sea stacks.

Many thanks John - not quite sure why I never processed shots from this particular sunrise but glad I stumbled across it.

Nice colors in the sky and reflected on the wet sand. A bit more shadow recovery might make this better esp. in the large stack.

Thanks Jameel - I spent some time trying to see what I could recover from the shadows on that sea stack but there were simply no details to pull out even I ran it through PureRAW. This was some of the first light of the day and it was still quite dark. The image is brighter than the visible light was. I used to wander down to the beach in the dark on days when I thought I might get good sunrise conditions.

That's my favorite sea stack from Harris Beach SP. You have to be happy with the color display from that morning!

Thanks Michael - wintertime in between storms is the best time of year for sunrises down there. Added bonus is the sun angle during the winter months. Summertime sun angle is way too far north for worthwhile sunrise colors down there.
