Unfortunately very little cloud again made for a not very spectacular sunrise, although the subtle pastel colours in the sky was quite nice at the time and you can't fault the weather/temperature - I was in shorts and a t-shirt even 30 minutes before the sun had hit the horizon. Too much haze and salt spray cloying the air for my liking but it was good christening for the brand new 16-35/4.

I had a couple total failure composition attempts before this one below showed the most promise at the time - over half of all my shots from the morning (and I only took just over 40 in total) were essentially of this basic composition. I was struggling however to get the right amount of water flow and catching it with the water flowing in the places I wanted it

Company great, balmy weather pleasant, breakfast actually reasonably good, images meh sorry...

Dawns Surge


and finally to finish off the morning a three minute stoppage of time...

BigStopper Dreamin'

we need to move that f'ing big rock, it works in some compositions but really just gets in the way for some of the down the scope channel ones..

earth moving business anyone?

The last is probably the strongest here, however I think there is merit in #2 with some croppage, how about cropping it to sq. from teh bottom and leave the horizon at the mid plane, just to break all the rules and..if your keen content aware that rock on teh left outta there.

heaps better imo, you could even crop again to a standard 3rds composition of your liking, but I am partial to non standard crops etc nowadays..

Last edit for me. I think by having the sun in the corner, there is a certain tension to the image.

I took a number with it just out of frame as well (and expected to like them more) but when I was editing them decided to include the one with the sun
