There was a jetty in the town we were staying in that I had decided that the next time I visited the town I would photograph.

Above is an image taken from Google Earth an on it I have identified two jetty's that I wanted to take, or had already taken.
Jetty 1, I have already shown in a previous post, but here it is again (below)
The jetty numbered 2, in the Google image above, was the other Jetty I had wanted to do, so on my return to Santiago I made it my number one priority to get the shot. As you can see from the overhead image, the Jetty has a distinct shape.
I got up at 5 in the morning, as I not only wanted to get a Sunrise shot over the sea, but early in the morning would mean less people and more importantly less light. This would help with the slow shutter speed, as I also wanted to record any movement there was in any cloud that was available.
I took several images at various exposure lengths (see contact sheet below) and finally chose image number 7245.
After a few tweek's in Photoshop, the final image can be seen above.
I would have liked to get a more red sunrise, but unfortunately due to the time of year the sun wasn't rising over the sea, but farther to the left of the image.
I will be returning in the Summer, so maybe another opportunity will present itself for another try.
Having said that, I am very happy with the image and it appears to have done well on a number of Photograph sites that I have uploaded it to.
Camera specifics are f/13, ISO 100, and a shutter speed of 240 seconds.
