Early morning on the beach to see the sunrise - this time with both camera and SD card!

Yet another naff nights kip for me but the upside of waking just after 4 being the opportunity to watch the sunrise. Unlike last time I made sure I had the SD card in the camera! One of the kids decided to sleep downstairs last night as it was cooler, I had to do my best ninja impression to sneak about without waking anyone. Mostly successful other than the dog. She was really excited as she thought I was taking her out but alas her poorly leg wouldn't cope with the distance.

It's about a 20 minute walk to the beach and I managed it without being attacked by any gulls! The evil little sods are still, in some cases, very protective of their young. They can be a proper pain in the arse!

Anyway, a selection of photos from this morning's sunrise here on the east coast of England.

On occasion I tried to slow the shutter speed down to capture the water moving as it (I think), gives a real nice milky effect. Better suited to when you have a tripod but I couldn't be arsed to try find that at 4:30am so had to try some freehand!

No other real description for them as there's little to say about sand, rocks, sea and sky.

All taken with a Canon EOS 6D with and Sigma 24-70mm lens. Either the lens or the sensor is a little grubby so there are some grubby spots in places. Processed in Adobe Lightroom.
