Sunrise Sunset Thread

[Gaz]

I got out of bed early and walked to the beach.

The A7iv heif format didn’t seem to accurately capture the colour gradients I was seeing. The iPhone was overstating them. The raw images in Lightroom, when pushed, seems to create radiating lines rather than smooth gradients. Maybe I’m just sh*t at Lightroom?




Heif file from cam (exported via iPhone photos app) kind of showing the light graduated, but not as intense as seen.


iPhone 14 Pro extreme coloration as shot.


Raw image adjusted in lightroom - radiating lines instead of even graduations


Heif file from camera as shot (exported from iPhone photos app) - again not as intense as seen.

Ok, in respect to my previous post, I can see now that I might only need to adjust the colour temperature to suit.


But, the image uploaded here is not displaying as it does on my mac. The lines, instead of an even gradient is back!

Finally, a break in the rain.

And the reflection of the sunrise in the cityscape (I turned 120 degrees left to get the next photo)

You find your spot well ahead of time and wait for sunset. Then an opportunity presents itself that could be nice, quick test shot and things look good. Just as the moment arrives someone walks right in front of you and the moment passes. Here's the test shot.

This morning. No saturation applied, this is pure CCD sensor colors.

The light here is fantastic. Good eye, and a nice job!

Appreciate the comment mate. It was a cloudless sky so I knew the big sunset cityscape image was going to be a waste of time. Wanted to get a bit more intimate with it, I don't know I guess the dragon flies must have set the mood or something...

Was very happy with these results.

I live a few hundred meters from the beach and I’m still amazed by how much variation there can be in the space of an hour. This morning….

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!

 

[Brownie]

Yes, they come and go so quickly. Can't tell you how many shots I've missed while "going to get my camera".

 

[Gaz]

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

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...
