The Magic of Light

This image came as a complete surprise, or at least the light did! I was taking images in the cove to the north of Albion Lighthouse, Mauritius, when this large low cloud was suddenly lit by the setting sun. The reflection from the cloud then illuminated the water and beach. I was set up for long exposures (but not of this scene) so quickly "found" a composition to include the cloud so as not to miss this wonderful event. There has been very little post production and, in fact, I took out a bit of orange saturation to make the colour of the image look a little more believable! Canon 6D, Canon 24-70mm f2.8 and Lee filters. ISO100/f16/15secs/24mm
