The sun breaks through

I’ve had plans for months now to get to Seacombe and photograph sunrise ever since I saw this photo by Sam. Its going to be a while till I get something that good but I’m up for a challenge. Annoyingly this morning clouds rolled in but close to 9:30 the sun broke through. Not perfect but still nice enough for a photo.

This is a HDR photo and I’ve uploaded a photo of the exposure I took to get enough detail from the sky around the sun. It’ll show you what you can do with HDR. I took 9 exposures to get all the detail I needed as I was shooting into the sun. Without HDR, some form of exposure blending or filters the camera just can’t capture everything. The sun is too bright.
