Storms are not unusual occurrences, especially over the North East coast, but they certainly do put a dampener on a vibrant and colourful sunrise.
However, if you know what you are doing and have a good understanding of the elements, these storms can make a striking addition to many photographic compositions. As I watch the storm roll in dramatically from behind me, I quickly grabbed my filters and switched my camera settings to capture this beautiful long exposure.
Instantly, I knew this particular scene would be best represented in black and white, given the stunningly high contrast across the image, especially with the white lighthouse standing proud and resolute as the beacon it was designed to be.
