Sunrise Sunset Thread

It is ridiculous Gaz. Just when you think the situation can't look any better, something changes then you basically delete all the images you just took because it now looks way better!

Haha. I may have to clean that sensor between walks!

I know the feeling, that ocean breeze is always carrying some moisture (and salt) that seems to be attracted to camera lenses haha

I find that the wind is usually quite gentle in the morning right at the beach, evening is a different story though...

That’s glorious. It looks so solid with the dark edges cracking open just enough to show some blue. It’s like we live in an Easter egg!

Thanks I saw it and had to dash up and put my head out of the loft window before it all changed.

Good job! Let me tell you about the one that got away!

A great example of how to make a clear sky work.

Thanks Clint. Sky was very clear, it was the fog I was trying to capture. I wish I had moved to left and took the shot down the ravine the way the bench was looking. Live and learn! By the way I loved your photo looking down on Sydney, I remember that street from our visit there.

Would have been interesting to see how they'd compare, but I really like the balance in that shot. I think there's plenty enough fog to give the viewer the exact idea of what was going on.

Thank you mate. Yes, The Rocks. Handy little area for sure. I was beyond pleased with the amount of detail in that, I was quite taken aback when I first viewed it after editing, a nice reminder as to why we do this.

I prefer the first because the birds are apparently more linea. I often grab a bit of bush to the side and foreground, and sometimes overhead to try and frame the view. It’s a struggle looking for a subject. It’s a struggle to find balanced composition

Great sunrise pictures. I don’t have any since I am just too lazy. I also live near the coast in Northern California, which means most days fog will be them theme of the morning (let’s go with that excuse).

Hope those clouds hold up till tomorrow morning for me! Especially like the second one there mate, well done!

I don't usually put the horizon in the middle of a photo, but I wanted to feature the near-perfect reflection in the placid water.
