Thanks everyone. It never stops amazing me what we will go through for that shot we are after. I must admit it was getting a bit serious for a while. My family and friends dont understand but thankfully photographers do. I guess sitting alone on a remote sea shore watching the sun come up sounds weird to my friends but its the worlds best stress relief.

Great work Mick, beautiful scenes with lots of drama, you have really captured the essence of nature's elements at work - Bravo!
Yes only the dedicated or should I say obsessed photographer knows and understands why you and we do this in all conditions come what may. Recently I drove to the exact same spot at the same time of day for 10 days straight, in wind, rain, sunshine, biting insects and everything else that mother nature could throw at me, just to get a single shot. My good wife soon got tired of coming with me and left me to it. But then after I had returned for the tenth time, she asked me if I thought I had 'got it' this time? I said I wasn't sure, but that I thought I might have. She then asked me, well if you have got the shot you were after, does that mean you will never need to go there again?
You really don't understand do you? Came the reply.
