Location: Edisto Island, SC, USA Date/Time Captured: 08/10/2016 @ 06:31 A fun sunrise session as things didn't look all that promising for sunrise color upon my arrival. Clouds were fairly thick...though not totally overcast. Even as I found my way out to the beach and began shooting things were a little blah. I'd all but given up on color shots and had been concentrating on long exposure black & white images....looking directly opposite of the sun's direction. And after starting a 4 minute exposure, I turned around, looked back in the sun's direction.....and Holy Cimoli, sunrise color had put on it's Sunday-Go-To-Meeting clothes and was strutting it's stuff. It turned out to be a wonderful color event that lasted approx 15-20 minutes. Turned out to be a very productive session for both color and long exposure b*w images!

So, I made plans right then to come back again on this day specifically to capture this image. Fortunately, the clouds were moving along just spiffy and it all combined for somewhat of an abstract long exposure. Though a fan of pretty much any 'abstract' opportunities, I'm always most intrigued when Mother Nature provides these 'live and in living color' opportunities.
