It's been a beautiful start to the day.
The Eta Aquarids, the Conjunction, and to top it off, I took a short drive to Somerset Dam to take in the dawn chorus.

Hi Jeanette

Those are a couple of lovely, atmospheric and slightly eerie waterscapes. They really convey the feeling of the place so well. Nice shooting.

Cheers

Dennis

The first was taken with the stock 18-55mm lens, the other with the Nifty 50.
The second I played around with the curves a bit.
The first is only cropped and resized.
It's inspired me to get down there more often. It's really is beautiful there.
Next time though, I'll find a place where I don't have to get off the road for cars.
Thanks for looking.
