I woke up early and by 6:30AM already at the beach with my camera and tripod ready.
The sun is supposed to rise at 7:00AM, we wait and wait, but that low cloud blocks it.
So, we just contended with the sunrise landscape without the sun.
Silky waves after 13 seconds of exposure. I used a tripod and a remote shutter release. I did bring a couple of natural density filters, but no time to test them.
