First Light on an Icy Castle Rock

Back to some recent images taken before the January thaw.  On this particular morning, I again headed out in hopes of capturing some sea smoke.  It turned out that my search was in vain but I did not come away empty handed.  In fact, I witness (and captured) and incredible early dawn image that I’ll share in the next few days (you’ll understand why later) and then headed here to Castle Rock.  I was surprised to see the tide pools had turned to ice and I quickly scampered […]

This became a significant collection last Summer and I noted the beginnings of the rock stacks on this June day.  I had seen the rocks a bit earlier in the day but wanted to return when the sun was lower in the sky.  For this shot, I closed down the aperture of the lens as far as it went to bring out the ‘sun star’ or ‘sunburst’ effect.
