Dawn Has Broken

[Richard Waas]

This is another sunrise at Anhinga. Those that get there late miss out on some glorious colors. Go to sleep early for a change...... ISO 200, f/8.0, 1/2000 sec, F24-105mm f/4L, 105mm, Evaluative Metering, Auto Exposure, Auto WB, No Flash. I used a single raw image to create multiple exposure adjustments to make an HDR for the sky only. Merged the foreground from the original image. HDR in the foreground created way too much noise in the shadows.

Well composed and executed Mr. Waas,
I like the orange and red tones in the sky...very pretty...:cool:

Interesting Richard !!! You are giving me ideas !! Would like to see a dark bottom but if it comes form a separate image selecting will be difficult !! A challenging image !!! Your creative !!! :)

[Oscar Zangroniz]

Stunning Richard. Great HDR work. This wasn't this past Saturday was it?

[Richard Waas]

Yes it was Oscar. You and Alberrrrrto went ahead and this sky only lasted a couple of minutes.
