Description

While at Jone Beach located in Wantagh, New York on the south shore of Long Island I was enjoying a beautiful clear day early in the morning on Jones Beach. Around noon I was getting ready to leave when all of a sudden these clouds started to move in across the ocean, but the only thing they really did was block the hot sun from hitting all of the people on the beach. They had almost a three dimensional shape to them as they were fluffy and did not at all look like they posed a threat for rain or an overcast day. As I was getting up to leave around 1:00 pm as when I go to Jones Beach I usually get there around 7:00 am and leave around 1:00 pm. This way I get a nice spot on the beach enjoy the sun rising and get to get out of there before it becomes to overcrowed. I packed up all of my camera gear and blankets and when I got half way to the boardwalk the "Fluffy Clouds" were still hanging over the water and you could hear people talking about what they looked like and the weird shape about them. At that point I took my camera out of my case attached my zoom lens and focused and ran off several shots. This one I picked out as my favorite as you can see and feel the sun hiding behind these clouds, which are so bright with a gorgeous blue background sky, to me this was a golden sky shot opportunity, with the sun rising over the ocean and the clouds blocking the sun's rays for a little while. By the time I got to my car the clouds were gone and the sun was out in full force on this hot summer day in July.Photographed this mass of fluffy clouds over Jones Beach on a beautiful day in July.
