Non-Sunrise, Maroubra 13 Feb 2011

[aim54x]

There was no sunrise this morning....just a sun that has crept into the sky under the cover of a thick blanket of cloud, but this didnt stop us from making the most of the early morning.

I was using my S5 Pro so I have had a bit of a tough time with the processing (very foreign workflow as CNX2 isnt RAF friendly).

First shot of the day (as an afterthought maybe I should have kept the WB in AUTO)


I love long exposures...here is the straight out of camera


Damn horizon!


more long exposure goodness


I couldnt resist an action shot


Despite all my care with this camera it does need a sensor clean (adds to the TO DO list)

Composition wise, I prefer #1 best. It has a nice yellow, blue combination what is quite appealing. You might even want to consider a further pano crop.

#2, #3 and #4 seem a little under exposed.

Do you think there is some color casting from your filters?

For some reason the Fuji picks up this colour casting whereas the Nikon doesnt seem to as much.

With #2, #3 and #4 they are a bit dim on 2nd viewing....I was going for a gloomy feel though (a bit like today)

I like the towards Tungsten WB look of #2 although it looks too dark for me. I'm also doing a low Kelvin look image in my set as well.

#1 is probably my pick as well and agree with Suren - the middle three at least look too dark for me.

I think the first looks the go for this set Cameron.

#1 and #5 look the best to me Cam.
Others could do with a bit more light

thats the spirit

I like the first and last images, both of which would lend themselves to be cropped to pano!

I guess we can expect you at the next sunrise meet Cameron?

heres what I reckon...

I have also tweaked a few things, it takes some work to get the WB correct and to minimise the pool lighting, but I think the results are worth the effort.

I prefer Gerry's edit here. There is more 'pop'. PS: Cameron your pictures are looking soft due to forum resizing.
