One of the most difficult aspects of landscape photography I face is just how to shoot an overshot scene. You know those locations that are photographed a million times a year? Well how do you stamp your own style on a location. Well for me, this image involved bolting on my Canon 17-40mm lens positioning the tripod four inches above the water and as close to this little rock face as I could and simply wait for the right moment to click the shutter button.

I had to be mindful of not getting the camera wet as the odd rogue wave would come crashing up the rock face and in that instance you have to be ready to lift the tripod rather quickly but I really wanted to capture the wonderful motion of the ocean and have those lines in the water pass right underneath the camera. The colours and textures of the rock as the morning sun rises over the horizon with its beautiful soft glow also lured me in.
