    Default Sunrise at Tiny Marsh

    Here is an image of Tiny Marsh near Elmvale, Ontario that was captured in early summer. Tiny Marsh is a huge wetland, despite it's name, that is designated an "Important Birding Area", always lots of black terns present.

    Cloned out some minor flare from shooting directly into the sun. Viveza 2 was used to tweak original capture and adjusted the structure slider slightly with control point on clouds to add a smidge more detail.

    D200
    12-24 lens @ 22mm
    f16 @ 0.4 sec.
    ISO 100
    Bubble Level in HS
    Tripod and ballhead
    Can't recall if I used a grad or not - I am thinking not fearing too much flare from direct sunlight.

    Look forward to comments

    Now, that's color! Nice image, Andrew.

    This might have been a time to use a reverse grad, if you have one.

    Hi Andrew, Very nice image with nothing but good things to say about it. Great sky with lots of detail and color. Love the rays emanating from the sun and the fact that it's offset.
    Good the image isn't cut in half and you gave room for the pink in the corner.
    Finally the use of lily pads in the foreground which have enough light to be distinguishable but not overpowering. Well handled...

    Thanks to all for your comments. I love this wetland and spend a lot of time here in all four seasons. Jeffrey it is times like these that I ask myself - "Why have I not bought a reverse grad yet?"

    The colors are beautiful and I too like the sun rays and the glow on the lily pads.

    Awesome colors. Lilly pads are well done and add a lot to the image. A real keeper.

    Great exposure and placement Andrew. It's photos (suns) like this that make me long for the Nikon lens elements!

    Thanks to all for your comments. I shoot many sunrises at this location every year, but this one is among my favorites.
