Sunrise Sunset Thread

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! 🌞
 
Yes, they come and go so quickly. Can't tell you how many shots I've missed while "going to get my camera".
 
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!
 
Down at the beach at the crack of dawn, yesterday.

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. 🙂
 
Good Morning!

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
 
Blackie Spit, Canada
This morning.

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).
 
A beaut morning in COOGEE today.
