Sunrise at Start Point. - a photo on Flickriver

            Back from a few days away in Devon and a few images to work my way through which will be shared over the coming week.
The first, is one I'm most proud of simply due to the effort that went into this sunrise shoot. Upon arrival at Start Point in South Devon, the wind was blowing a gale and a first visit anywhere in the dark isn't ideal, let alone when the conditions are against you. Despite this, I found a section of rock to climb to reach the highest point for the view I was hoping to achieve. The worst place to be during gale force winds, I could barely stand, let alone hold my tripod in place for more than a second! I even asked myself out loud at one point - what the hell am I doing!
Despite some quite scary moments up on that cliff, I'm pleased I did it - what an amazing sunrise to sit and witness!
