The first one is great. Its can be quite hard to retain foreground detail with such a strong sun. Nice job there. Good warm tones on the rocks.

I like the image and composition but like others have said, the temp is a little cold for my liking.
The motion of the water is great. What was your exposure settings?

Thanks guys. To be honest I’m far more used to sunsets and the changing light to dark with my filters. I’ve moved to the east coast this year and have just started to try sunrises, so I still don’t have a full feel over the changing light level over say 3-5 minute exposures. Its a huge shift from the moment the light is just below to when it just peaks.

Fun to learn though.

I was trying to avoid the 50:50 sea/sky and the 33/66 sky, sea worked ok but not as well

Ah next time I’ll take a range of shots ;)

Thanks

Pano style crop, most of the sky gone.
Might make a more interesting printing option

Now that was worth the outrageous price of the car park ;)

Fantastic shot

I gave it a go… not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind but I like this…

Hi 5faythe

Thanks for the comments. You’ve given me an idea on alternate crops. I’ve tried a few in lightroom and it’s interesting the different perspectives I’m getting out of the image…

Also, I’d normally be the last person to put people in a landscape shot but I thought it would kinda work here…

Thanks all ;)

I’ve another from that set there. This one got featured on Flickr Explore this weekend…
Looks like a nice evening this evening… tempted to head back out there again…

Nice composition there. Lovely “lead in” feeling of the stones really draws you in.
B&W was a nice idea here

You’d want to give up the auld photography… your no use at at all ;)

Gorgeous stuff, its just pops off the page. Lovely detail… were you using ND filters?
