lighthouse at sunrise

In an effort to improve my landscapes I've been trying to get out before sunrise every weekend, was lucky enough to see an amazing sunrise this weekend which just about made up for being buffeted by icy winds on a freezing beach at 6.30am!

It was worth your while getting up early, Lovely shots.

Tony.

great colours ,what beach in essex?

I love the beach photos. Now I feel sad when I woke yesterday at 3am I went back to bed. It was 8 degrees here in Boston. Color is a ten!

It's Dovercourt beach near Harwich... is that your part of Essex?

Thanks for all the comments... got lucky with the sunrise, usually at this time of year the sky is just shades of grey clouds!

havering atte bower,near romford.i was working in harwich a few months ago.did you use any grad filters for the shots justin.

Very nice series!

I used a cokin 3 stop ND grad and a polariser in the last 2 as well, all shot with the Sigma 10-20mm

Beautiful!

Thank you

Beautiful images!

Definitely worth the early morning to get these stunners. Nice job!

Looks great....I like #4 the best! Nothing quite like a nice sunrise!

I really like #2.

I like #1 and #2 the best, especially #2. The colors are fantastic. Just a little too much foreground for me.
