5:27am - moment of sunrise at Long Reef Beach, Sydney. Nothing out of
the ordinary. The beach was calm but I couldn't take my mind off the
possum that I made a road kill on the way to the beach.
I was following Oat's example, i.e. ignoring the rule of thirds. I
never did anyway.
Spot the beams of the sun shining upwards from the clouds.
Warming filter was applied to the whole pic in CS to enhance the
sunrise colours. Sepia filter was applied to the bottom half to
'suppress' the ugly blue in the sea.
Aperture F/13 (forgot to reset from last week, careless me).
ISO100 | f/13 | 1/15sec | 17mm | eval.metering | cloudy WB | raw | ND4 grad filter | tripod

What a glorious sight, such colours !!!! The rule of thirds is a great guide, but there are times when it has to go on the back burner, and this is one.

Collage-Nikov2010 wants you to know the chubby little guy has finally slimmed-down
and his reward for losing the extra weight was discovering your Flickr site--it's almost
as good as the 60's & the electric kool-aid acid tests, in Golden gate Park, San Francisco!
