Sunrise Photos at Avoca Beach

[iceman (Mike)]

Hi all

These photos were taken in early January and was the first light from my new (second hand) Canon 20D.

It was a lovely morning and I just love the 20D.

Please see all the shots here:

Thanks Mike,

Some really beautiful shots!

The time lapse of the waves on the rocks ended up looking like fog from
dry ice. Nice effect!

I must admit a bit of deja-vu going on here! Only a couple of hours
ago I was looking at some shots I took of fisherman silhouetted
at sunset rather than sunrise, but not as nice as yours.

You were lucky with the sunrise! Somehow it seems harder to catch
a good sunrise as opposed to a sunset.

Best Regards

Beautiful images Mike,

Especially like the sunrise images but my favorites are the morning reflections.

Hello Mike.

Fantastic images there Mike, I see you must have gotten a new memory chip. Nice to see that someone else has the trouble of a dusty sensor. I had my old D70 cleaned at John Ralphs Camera House in the past and they did a fantastic job.
Well Done

Mike,

Wow, beautiful photographs. I really like the first image with the beautiful cold tones in the water and the second one with the pink clouds. Gorgeous work.

Thanks Gary. The one with the waves on the rocks is my favourite.
Your fisherman shots are brilliant!
I also agree about the sunrise/sunset comparison - it does seem a bit easier to capture lovely afternoon shots. The light seems to change much faster in the morning.

Thanks Trevor. A Kayaker paddled through the scene and disturbed the reflections at one point.. I know! How Rude!

Thanks Andrew. I hadn't thought about taking it there. I cleaned most off myself but there's still some stubborn dust that I want to get off. How much did it cost you?
Oh and I did get a new memory chip - an 8Gig Sandisk Extreme II for about $90. Very happy now

Thanks H, your landscapes are an inspiration to me.

Cheers RB! Was thinking of heading up to Sommersby Falls this arvo (there'd be lots of water there now!) but I can't get away. Maybe tomorrow morning.

Is that a private party to sommersby??? It will be flowwing like mad by now and should be Great with an overcast sky.
Last time I had the sensor cleaned I seem to remember it cost $70, and was money well spent.

Andrew, anyone is welcome to come with me. I haven't decided when yet, but probably reasonably early tomorrow morning.

I'll speak to Kate and give you a call.
