Red Alert (Explored)

I keep telling myself to get out and get more sunrises and sunsets so this morning I set the alarm and went for it.

I almost didn't get out of bed and went back to sleep for 10 more minutes, very naughty.

Got out of bed, got ready and headed for Beachy Head but not to jump off oh no, to try and get some colours in the morning sky.

The colour was hidden behind this band of moody clouds which ran along the horizon but the rest of the sky was clear so I zoomed in to crop out the bland part of the sky and capture all the sunrise colour.

I used my Lee 0.6 Hard ND grad to darken those clouds and bring out the colours, to enhance this more I underexposed as well.

I really like how the tankers are along the horizon and lit by all that orangey goodness with the Beachy Head lighthouse warning them not to come any closer.
