Photographer's Note

Sunrise on Sopelana beach a few kilometres in the north of Bilbao on the Basque Country coast. The rising sun adds some warm orange tones to the clouds pushed by the wind. 30 seconds long exposure for this picture.

Hello Olivier,
The carefully controlled long exposure has a wonderful effect on sea and sky. The foreground rocks make an ideal set of pointers towards the rocky islet in the sea. Superb lights, colours and clarity. First class photography.

Bonjour Olivier,

Tr鑣 chouette point de vue o� les rochers du premier plan semblent viser le rocher au large !
D閏id閙ent, tu t'es bien amus� avec ton filtre ND, que tu ma顃rises par ailleurs relativement bien, produisant des images de qualit�.

Hello Olivier,

This is a beautiful photograph!
You have captured Nature beginning her morning splendour!
Your slow shutter speed has given an ethereal mood, maybe a little spooky, as the sea's surface turns to mist.

The long, rocky ridges, in the f/g, attract immediate attention and offer an effective guide seawards.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
Thank you for your critique of the squiggly bridge. No wonder you didn't see it when you were in Glasgow!
We felt very lucky when we were there for the Commonwealth Games. The city was full of activity and tourist support.

Very interesting formations with a nice color and effects. The interesting to me is that the tock on the foreground seems to me like the waves produced by the motorboar, which would be the island we see in the distance. It looks very nice, congratulations on the excellent work!

Cher Olivier

A beautiful scene, idyllic, tranquil and such unspoilt beauty. I love the low POV, the slowed shutter, misted water and those amazing clouds. The rock formations seem to be pointing towards the sky, leading the eye towards the gorgeous horizon. Excellent work, thanks for sharing.

Bonne amities
Lisa
