    Default Early Winter Sunrise

    Take in here in Ottawa last month, about a 5 minute drive from home. While still relatively dark out I saw the potential in the clouds and quickly drove over to that location. I was not disappointed with the beautiful start of that day! The reflections are on iced-over water.

    Canon 7D + 18-55mm "kit lens" @24mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/60s., f/6.3, ISO 800, handheld, FF.

    Hi Daniel, very beautiful scene and nicely composed...I love the clouds and colours too. Not much ice there today I bet :)

    A fantastic moment nicely captured Daniel! It's always a special moment when the sun colors the clouds from below and if you have a unique / interesting cloud formation too (like this) then you have a winner!

    Gorgeous light and kudos for raising the iso enough to handhold for the shot and still get nice IQ.
    Too bad there was ice as nicely blurred water would have been nice....

    Stunning colors captured here Daniel. I like the bowl shape in the clouds. I wonder if the horizontal or landscape crop might have accentuated that more?

    Wonderful scene here Daniel to get popcorn clouds lit up like that is a rare sight indeed. If this where mine I would crop from the bottom putting even more emphasis on the sky and clouds.

    Hi Daniel - I'm late to this but agree with all of the above accolades. Beautiful colors and nicely exposed to bring them out.

    TFS,

    Just lovely! I love that you included the entire reflections of the trees, letting them come to an end before the bottom of the frame. The ice gives a lovely impressionistic look to the reflections, and the color is marvelous. There is an interesting variability to the trees, and the clouds are spectacular.

    Hi Dan

    I'm very late on this but agree with all the above... My suggestion would be to go wider by stitching a few images together...

    Hi Dan, I appreciate the way you preserved what you witnessed; silhouetted trees and shadows. Some might be compelled to try and expose for the foreground and trees and use a GND filter. My only thought and it's questionable would be that a silhouetted foreground element would capture the viewers eye and lead them into the image. Superb capture. TFS steve
