It was a race against time for this image as i arrive later than planned and could see from the road that this colour was brewing... Shooting hand held whilst losing the light and the movement of the water made things even trickier so iso to the rescue.

To get a decent splash of water the conditions need to be right, ie some rough weather including wind and cloud, add to that the light had to be right for the colour in the clouds, the tide has to be right - an incoming tide to force the water upthrough the channels in the rocks to explode out of the top and of course timing your shot as there is little to no warning that its coming.... so i watch the waves roll in forthe timing ... Very satisfying when it all comes together!
