Alcudia Bay on the northern coast of Mallorca is quite a busy tourist trap, with the beach usually crowded with sun worshippers.
But not at six in the morning!
At this time I had the beach pretty much to myself, with just a few joggers and dog walkers for company.
I'd just finished shooting the stills for my Sunrise at Alcudia time lapse video and was thinking about packing my gear away and heading back to the hotel when two other early risers appeared on the rickety jetty stretching out into the bay.
Much to my delight, the couple then began to strike various poses as they photographed each other, and with a quick zoom in and an exposure tweak I was able to capture the fun before heading back for a bacon butty and dip in the pool (in that order).
