Beautiful Sunrise at Avoca - Seascape Photos

iceman (Mike) · #1 05-05-2011, 02:07 PM

Hi all

The same morning of capturing the Moon and Planets Conjunction at Avoca, after the dawn light left and the sunrise came, the sky and some local surfers put on a fantastic show, allowing me to capture these seascape images.

They're some of my best photography of recent times - at least, I think so

I'm proud of them, anyway.

Larger images and a few more images here:

Thanks for looking - feedback welcome.

Mike,

Bravo, bravo! Some of the best photography posted in this forum, thus far.

Brilliant!

P.S. I know you like people in your shots; I could do without them.

Nothing short of Beautiful Mike.
My wife and I agree that the colours and shadow work is fantastic.

Well done.

Thanks so much for your feedback, guys. I really appreciate it.

And H, you're far too kind - your landscapes continue to inspire me.

I do like having people in mine though

I printed a few off at home this morning on the home printer, a regular Canon Pixma MP640, on A4 Glossy Photo paper. They look amazing - much better than I had hoped.

Really, really happy with them.

Simply stunning, I particularly like the 1st and the 5th photo. but they are all great.

Octane (Humayun) · #11 06-05-2011, 01:41 PM

The prints look remarkable, Mike.

Imagine them blown up to 24x16" (or, bigger).

Very nice Mike,

I especially love the metallic feel given to the rocks conveyed by the cloud colours in the first one, it looks like beaten copper, good enough for the cover of a book about surfing....

Cheers

Chris
