Mt Coo-tha

Postby Geoff M on Mon Jun 26, 2006 9:55 pm

Hi Guys

Was wondering if any of you have been upto Mt Coo-tha to capture a sunrise over the CBD. Is it worth dragging myself out of bed early?

SteveGriffin regularly floats over in his balloon around dawn - I'd say it was worthwhile going by some of the shots he gets. Skies are very clear at the moment too, so go for it! I'm usually at work at that time so don't get the opportunity though there are some STUNNING sunrises behind Fisherman Islands. Now if I could only stop at the top of the Gateway Bridge to get some shots without people thinking I was a jumper...

I can never manage to get up that early - it's more likely I could stay up till dawn instead. (which is how I have ever gotten dawn photoshoots done)
