Blue Mountains Sunrise Shoot Mark II
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 9:39 amWoke up this morning & there were stars in the sky 
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
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.
