Storming Redhead

Sunset at a stormy Redhead

Sunset at a stormy Redhead

I left work a few minutes early today in the hope that I could make it home in time to get my camera and make it to the beach before sunset.  I had been mindful of the weather all day.  The wind had been blowing, the surf report indicated big waves and it's been raining since the weekend.  There had to be a good shot in this!

As I drove down to Redhead I looked back through the valley towards Warners Bay.  I wondered if I had made a mistake as the sunset over the lake looked amazing.  Too late, I was committed.

I raced out of the car and down to the beach.  Got off a few hand held shots which is always my safety.  I extended the tripod and stood it in the sand as I reset my ISO.  Bang!  Over went the empty tripod as the howling wind blew it into the sand.  Now everything was sandy.  My tripod head and all the adjustments.  I hate that crunchy sound!  

I recomposed and this was the result with only about 5 minutes left to shoot.
