Blue Mountains Sunrise Shoot Mark II

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

Blue Mountains Sunrise Shoot Mark II

Postby Mr Darcy on Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:39 am

Woke up this morning & there were stars in the sky :D
Grabbed the camera & tripod (& the trusty tripod bearer) and headed up to Sublime point again.
All were taken with the 100-300 AIS. EXIF reports 200mm, but this is the value in the manual lens data. First two were 300mm. The sisters were about 200mm

Yes Virginia there is a sunrise
Image
This was about a minute BEFORE official sunrise. Not sure why. Perhaps altitude, non-ideal horizon, or perhaps Sunrise is defined as when the sun clears the horizon, rather than broaches it. Don't know.

Morning haze

And just for Andrew:
I darkened the background rocks and sky to throw the Sisters into greater relief

and unretouched

Just as we were leaving, another photographer was arriving.

You got some light at last! I quite like these. Perhaps this is why Adams produced only one good image per month.

These look a little soft but I assume it could be the resizing. I would like to see a sharper version though.

Kudos for getting there at 0610.
