Man-o-man... I can't remember the last time I posted something in the Man & Nature gallery.
Hi everyone
This is a shot that I got at Bahia Honda in the Florida Keys over a month ago. Heading out to this location from where I live is truly a shot in the dark (whenever I'm not planning to camp there). It was a 3 a.m. wake-up, a two hour drive and a little time to mess around with compositions before the color sets in. The incoming cold front and heavy wind chilled me to the bone (this was just before the big freeze we got here in Florida). I was excited to see that the tide was extremely low, exposing the rocks that I was hoping to use as my foreground. The sunrise however, was disappointing. Clouds blocked the color that I hoped for, but I did notice that there was a small opening in the clouds where the sun might peek through. I was happy that I waited it out, because this is the only worthwhile shot I got that day.
The bridge in the shot is the old Flagler Railroad Bridge that once passed over the Bahia Honda Channel.
Oh, no green was added to the water BTW... I think that has something to do with the clarity of the water and the bluish cast of the clouds.
Thanks for looking!
