Sunrise Blush

[Ed_Lowe]

I have always enjoyed spending time at Cape Henlopen SP in DE and with Covid wrecking it’s havoc and showing no signs of slowing down my wife and I booked three two day camping trips with our camper here this past year as it is only two hours from home. This was an early morning sunrise I captured during one of those trips and I only had to share this spot with one other person this particular morning.

There is obviously not a lot of interesting FG elements to put in the scene so I just try to catch some interesting wave patterns as they draw back across the sand. I had my water shoes on and my hand on the tripod knowing that I would be getting my feet and tripod wet as I set up low to the beach. This turned out to be one of my favorites from that morning.

As always thanks for taking the time to leave your thoughts.

I can see why this is a favorite. The wave gives a nice sense of motion and leads into the scene. The dapples of color in the wash are great. Really nice.

Ed, this is a beauty! The rush of surf with the variety of colors in the foreground leads well into the lovely sunrise and far distant clouds. This is very well done.
