The sparkling drops of water flew through the air. Between the sound of seagulls and waves was the sound of a shutter clicking. Once, twice, thrice. It'd click repeatedly and repeatedly on the sprays of the waves. Had to make sure they were all in focus. That the shutter speed was fast enough. And most of all, that the spray just plain ol' looked good.
I captured this at dawn at Folly Beach, SC. The sun was just rising over the horizon, giving everything a gorgeous orange glow, contrasting heavily with the deep, rich blues reflecting from the western sky.
I can't help but think of one of my favorite bands when I see this picture. Mono, a post-rock band from Japan, has a song "Silent Flight, Sleeping Dawn". I can't really call it lyrically inspired, though, as the song has no lyrics. Either way, I love this silhouette against the sunrise.
