It's the first day of winter on the meteorological calendar, and I'm out well before dawn in the hope of photographing the sunrise. The intention was to shoot from a high viewpoint, featuring a local pier as foreground interest with the approaching dawn lighting the background.
That idea was soon dashed as it began to rain as I set up; always an issue as water droplets hitting the front element of the lens can ruin an image. To add to the dilemma, the moment of sunrise happened behind thick cloud, which added no colour at all to the sky.
It wasn't until half an hour later, and once I had moved down to sea level, that the clouds parted and the sky became spectacular.
