Sunrise in the Maldives

There are a few reasons that I love to shoot at sunrise in the Maldives. For a start, you are almost guaranteed to see a beautiful sunrise every day. Another thing I love about it is that I get a lie in, compared to the time I have to get up back home, and still get up in time to see it! On Komandoo, you have the island almost to yourself at this time of day. It’s very peaceful all the time here, but particularly so at sunrise. On this day, the sunrise created quite a spectacular light show when it burst through the clouds sending light rays shooting across the sky.

The image was created from a couple of exposures, developed in Lightroom and then blended in Photoshop and processed with the On1 Effects plugin.
