The worst part of the flu is being confined to the house with no energy or motivation. This morning the dogs woke pre dawn to be let out, so I decided to jump in the car and drive to the beach to photograph the sunrise. So pleased I did. Not a great sunrise as it was too clear but there is always something uplifting in watching a new day dawn. A wonderful start to the day.
Photos were taken with a graduated neutral density filter which I have just purchased. Great idea except that my camera was on spot metering so exposure was all over the place. Definitely need a clearer head to try out new camera techniques. I can see greater depth to the sky in the shots, which brings it closer to how the scene actually appeared. Will need to experiment more.
First light.

Enjoy your Mother's Day Ladies!

What a magical way to start your Mother's Day! I hope everyone is feeling a little better and can pamper you a bit. I got caught out with the spot metering last weekend. I didn't even know I'd chosen that option. I was beginning to think I was going crazy until I realised what I'd done!
Lovely photos, and I'm sorry you're sick!
Hey sorry to hear you have been sick but you still take awesome photos when you aren't well! Hope you are all better soon!
