I would have shot this at sunrise except for a few Chardonnays last night...... at least I have had a good look at the area..... watch this space...

Just have to make sure that the peir runs from west to east. Otherwise you might have to make it a sunset

now what was in that bottle.........all shot on the Sigma 12-24 lens, clean up of dust bunnies a little sharpening and a little crop to straighten the horizion, so the straight horizion police let me go by......auto WB rest shot on manual and RAW capture

I like the composition on the first pic a great deal. Dunno where you'd squeeze in a rising sun in that frame tho.

The 2nd Big pix with a rising Sun in the big gap would look a treat.
You might have to go to bed early and get up the next day to catch the Big Yellow Worm

Mic.

The sun rises over my right shoulder about 180 degrees to the right, it might or might not make a very interesting pix, but I am going to give it a go as this is the only jetty near where I live that faces towards the Rising Sun. You should come and visit our fair country and leave the winter at home. I am sure you will be able to get some very interesting subjects.

cheers

Foot Note: Stay off the Chardonnay tonight

Even if it didn't have the sun actually in the shot the warm tones that a sunset/sunrise bring to a scene will do it justice. Plus the clouds/sky will be a lot different.
