Sugarloaf Sunset

Sugarloaf Rock Nature Reserve

Cape Naturaliste, Western Australia

 

God rays emerged from a break in the storm clouds, illuminating the stunning foreground for a brief moment. Photographed from the main observation deck, it was the unique lighting that caught my attention. Using a Natural density filter, I was able to reduce the exposure of the sky and capture a large dynamic range of light in one exposure. I liked how the wavefront of the incoming wave on the right hand side of the frame is in line with the rock face. That was pure coincidence! Some observant viewers will notice that my watermark still states 2013. I tend to follow the date in which the image was taken, instead of the date it was uploaded. Sadly, my camera is still stuck in repair and I have yet to take a single image in 2014. Hopefully, Canon Singapore can speed up their repair process... (It has been close to 3 weeks since I sent my Camera in for repairs!)

 

1 exp shot, LEE's GND filter (I can't remember the exact filter), edited in Lightroom and Photoshop.
