Who needs Sunrise?

Posted on by

Dunno why i spend all this time getting up at the crack of dawn to capture sunrise..should just do it at noon, such a more respectable hour and you can actually see where your going ! 😉

Just throw in a LEE bigstopper and a few clouds and voilà seascape sorted.

Damn it was windy on this rock shelf! the only reason I pointed in this direction since it was so damn windy and I needed to shield the camera from the wind with my body and keep the sea spray off the filters.

Exif/setup data:
D7000 coupled with Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 @11mm Aperture: f/11 and Shutter Speed: 132.9s
out front – LEE Bigstopper, LEE graduated filter 0.9 and screw in circular polariser

As always, I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed.

Subtle, saturated colours, great water flow and wet feet, all make for a fun sunrise session.

Manually blended a couple of shots to achieve that extra bit of light on the rocks and also compensate for the bright sky.

Sunrise – Diamond Head South

The plan was to check out Kylies beach and a nice little outcropping of rocks on the beach, however a minor issue with craploads of sea foam prevented this!

Nonetheless, one must make the most of what one can with what is provided. There is a great little stream that runs beside the camp cround (Kylies Campground from memory) and flows into teh sea, it is tannin coloured and makes for some nice images.

And, you not believe, not only was there lots a sea foam…but the fog rolled in!

There is also the headland just to the north which I have walked along in teh past, however I must get there for sunrise soon, there is some awesome looking rock headlands there which seem pretty accessible.

Willy weather knows about it.
