A few from this morning.

I got up early, 5am, looked at the sky, but it was cloudy. However, there was one star, so that did it for me, there may be some breaks. I've been meaning to get a good Bogey Hole sunrise, but lately I had been stumped by clouds, rain, big swell.

I got to King Edward Park and they were just unlocking the gates

All photos taken with Tokina 12-24.

There was just a slight NE wind, so the water surface had a little bit of a ripple in it. (click on image for a larger one)

this was at dawn


One which is a lower perspective.


Once the sun was just getting out of the water behind the rocks


It was getting to low tide, but there was a set of waves that kept coming in about every 15 minutes that would go over the top, so I had to quickly move when one was spotted
INCOMING!!


That one didn't get me, but another one later on got my shoes soaked

Still was a nice morning,

Comments appreciated. Does the composition work, are they too dark??

thanks,

André
(too cloudy, didn't get to see the comet) PS: (SORRY about slopping horizon, getting late )

Great shots,
I like the second the best, would like to see just a little more detail in the shadows.
Well worth getting up at 5.00am
Marty

makes it worthwhile getting up for.

I prefer the viewpoint of the first but the extra shadow detail of the second

The first & 3rd are my pick here. The imposing foreground posts distract me too much from the image in #2. These also seem a bit too blue to me.

I'm also impressed by your bravery. Getting around on the slippery edge to where you've taken the last 3 shots would be tricky and you'd want very dependable shoes!

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated.

Marty and Steve, I've got a few more like the second, I'll see if I can get a bit more detail.

Peter, the light was changing a fair bit over the period that I was there, Auto WB was used, but I see what you mean, I'll tone down some of the blue and see what comes out. As for being slippery, it was I had to be extra careful when I had to move back to a safe elevetated rock. That safe rock was very rough, so it gave me good grip.

cheers,


André
