    A 2.30am start, yes that's right 2.30am!, saw me heading for Saltwick Bay on the North Yorkshire coast.

    Arriving at 5.00am as the sky was just turning from black to dark blue as the first signs of light started to appear, i thought i would be the only person down on the beach at this ridiculous hour. But no, i was beaten to it by 2 other "toggers"!!!

    After safely navigating the "foot path" down to the beach i immediately placed my self in the icey cold North Sea and grabbed this shot of the first bit of colour to appear in the sky.

      Brilliant Warren. Top drawer shot. Sometimes those early starts pay off!

      I can't believe i'm actually still up. I think my bed may be calling very soon!!!

      I prefer this shot to the mono one - the colours are surreal, and simply stunning! Although the mono one is lovely too :)

    9. Warren D (39 months ago | reply)

      Thanks Ellen. It was that surrealness that made me think twice about the colour in this one, wasn't sure weather it looked too un-natural.

      A beautiful shot!

      Thank you all for your comments.

      @ Sarah Yes the early start did pay off as i got some really good shots. However the sunrise wasn't as dramatic as i'd hoped as it was quite hazy.

      Definitely worth the 2.30 start I'd say:)

      Thank you all.

      @ Emi - 2.30am yes, Ice cold water yes!! LOL
      Some would say dedicated, others would say madness, but for me it's a passion so i don't really care either way, but it's nice to know it was worth the effort! LOL

      Thanks again.
