Bass Rock Sunrise
Hello

Not been posting much recently - lot been going on and summer hols etc. Anyway - managed a trip up to North Berwick for the Bass Rock spectacular, couldn't sleep so got up and down to the harbour at 5.30am to see a beautiful sunrise. (it was chucking it down with rain by the time we got onto the rock!!)

With my eyes all I could see was the rock and sunrise, but looking through the lens of my 500mm I could see hundreds of Gannets flying above the rock, I took this picture as it shows Bass Rock and the Gannets in a different light (no pun intended)

(larger version on my website for anyone interested)

Lovely composition and the colours of the morning are captured beautifully, the black dots of the birds adds a great touch to this image, very nice Colin :wink: :wink: :wavey:

That is nice, well worth the early start and lack of sleep.
