It was -5° at South Shields this morning and the rocks were frosted over, making them doubly treacherous! It was worth the white-knuckle treck along the harbour wall to get this shot though.
I made about 8 attempts at this shot, but the sun kept coming out from behind the cloud, blowing out the sky. Ordinarily, I just use my ND grads to dim the sun, but in this case the sea was almost as bright, which made it difficult to balance the whole exposure out.
This shot was deceptively challenging. The sea and the bottom half of the sky were seriously bright, but the land mass and the top half of the sky were really dark, so it took a few attempts with various combinations of hard and soft grads to get an exposure that worked right across the image.
