Description This shot was taken just before sunrise with the full moon close to the horizon in the west, which provided backlighting to the clouds in frame. It took a number of shots to get this as the fisherman was continually moving.

4 secs @ F16

North Beach Jetty
Perth, Western Australia

I love the mood captured in this picture. The lighting and composition all works together very well.

One thing which I don't think looks quite right though, is how the top of the railing lines up with the horizon. I think you lose a bit of perspective or something there...

Thankyou
Not HDR, single shot, no blending of layers either.
As far as lenses go, this was taken with the D70 kit lens 18 - 70mm.

Interesting, you're lucky that fisherman stood perfectly still.
I first thought this was HDR but this is a proof of how you can achieve the same if you know your camera

I really like this photo. It has a kinda eerie feel to it - like a storm is coming. But at the same time, the water is so nice and tranquil.
