I had finished up photographing sunrise at Sunshine Beach in January this year and was heading back to the hotel when I saw this awesome light from out of the clouds. I must admit I did probably leave the location earlier than I should have but that was partly due to arriving there probably 30 minutes too early and a lack of inspiration. Anyway, I quickly turned down a few back streets to try to capture the sunrise. I pulled up next to some guy sleeping in his car and ran to a set of stairs to capture this.
