Pre-dawn at Bombo

[Toddyh]

I already shared some sunrise images. These ones are pre-dawn and to be honest I wasn't a fan initially. But hey they're different and provide a whole new colour scheme to the basalt.

#1


#2 - A HDR merge that I'm not at all sold about.

Really tells us the story of you getting up early for this Todd. I think a luminosity mask with some curves adjustments would give you more to play with rather than an HDR. Photo is wonderful but not the time of day for me

[Toddyh]

Thanks Greg. Still no photoshop for me so something I'll have to look at in the future.

I also like the movement of the ocean. I have memories of photographing my Honda 4 in the quarry in the late 6ties. Lived in Kiama for a while.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Hans. Funnily enough on the saturday morning there was actually a film crew in there doing something. No idea what but they were gone by sunday.

First image with a couple of graduated filters applied

[Isac]

That's a good job using the filters Todd. The sky looks good too.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Greg

[Gaz]

A lovely location with all the at texture, water and bonus use of the sun.
CC - A slight straighten perhaps?

[Toddyh]

The horizon is actually dead straight Gaz. I know because I kept looking at it and thinking it wasn't. So have checked it multiple times. It;s really deceptive in this image for some reason.
