Sunrise - first really solid attempt

Moving Pictures

Inspired by the minichallenge, I went out to capture a sunrise this morning. I've always sucked at these sorts of things ...

Below freezing, and not a cloud in the sky. I also delved into raw-file post-processing, which I rarely do.

I'm pleased, but believe I need to do more work, esp. with the post-processing side of the equation .. C&C welcome.






That white stuff, down below? That's ice.

Hi. I like the first one. Nice exposure. the weir posts lead you into the shot and having the sun parked virtually on top of them is a nice twist.

Sadly, almost all my sunset/sunrise shots have been captured using point and shoots ... so I realized I need to break out the good gear more often.

I too really like the first one! Nice job!

First one for sure! Very unique sunrise composition. Processing looks good. Nice job!

Since I'm usually walking my dog at sunrise, my best shots are all iPhone or P&S too. Hard to lug the big gear, tripod etc. with an energetic pooch on the end of the leash.
