    Default Sunrise - bridge - egret

    I was frustrated by clouds last night while trying to shoot the full moon so I decided to get a sunrise shot today.

    Hi Allan

    This is beautiful..! I love the symmetry of the bridge, the placement of the bird and the sun and the depth you have achieved with the sky... If I were to play at all it would be only be to enhance the sky/cloud a little more, but I would take it as it is any day...

    Allan,

    I agree, like this one for the reasons mentioned. I am confused on the two ISO settings reported.

    Another option here was low ISO, small aperture and longer exposure to create the silky look to the water.

    Allan, I opened this on my iPad and I am not seeing it full screen. It opened with the right edge showing. I then moved the image to show the left edge - I like this as a crop a lot better that the OP because it moves the egret and the sub to the 1/3 positions. Like the image on my uncalibrated iPad screen.
    Cheers, Jay

    Beautiful color. I like that the sun is broken up a bit by being behind the bridge structure. At first I thought it would have been better a few minutes later with the sun above the bridge, but after looking for a while, I prefer this position.

    Jay, you do have a good point on the crop. I will give it a try later today or this evening.

    Robert - 4900 was the wb. Bad typing. :(

    Dave, I had one with the full sun but liked this one better. Glad you agree.

    Hey Alan,
    Keep Roberts suggestions in mind for the future. A slower SS will smooth out the water.

    missed this one Allan
    Love the colours and overall image design
    this would've been even better with the slower SS as mentioned...

    I tried for a lower ss yesterday to smooth the water but I did not have nd filters which were needed. Even at Iso 50 and f/22 the ss was a 1/2 or faster.
