What Sunrise?...
Posted: Fri Oct 12, 2012 2:10 pmJoined the FOCUS crew down at Milsons Point on Sydney Harbour for a dawn and sunrise shoot under the bridge.
The early morning started with a 4:30AM arrival under the bridge (yeah daylight savings started the next day... sigh...) - the cloud cover was complete and it was drizzling - not looking promising. However the company couldn't be faulted and I even tried (and failed) with a bit of pre dawn lightpainting (the ambient from the street lights and other city lights killed everything).
4:45AM - about 45 minutes before sunrise - the light pollution from the city lit up the low cloud cover for some colour in the sky
Sydney from the Park
and check out the great colours and clouds we got in the sky with sunrise!... yeah right!...
Grey Harbour Dawn
With these last two I was getting desperate - I was trying to do something clever incorporating something from this ferry pier into the composition to try and rescue the situation... I know "trying" being the key word here and "clutching at straws" perhaps being more telling ...
... any suggestions (other than "delete") - maybe something for next time...
