A Pier'd The Morning

**Markulous** · 19-06-2007, 13:11

Been meaning to catch a sunrise for a while - but the weather had not been great (OK, I didn't want to get out of bed @ 4:00!). But on Saturday I made the supreme effort and made it down to Penarth Pier (well, I had to get a 'Seascape'!). Sunrise wasn't that great (and they turned the lights off early, on the Pier!)

1 After Sunrise

2 Flatholm and Steepholm

3 Rocks Along The Beach

4 Pier and Sky

5 Mono Pier

All comments, good, bad or indifferent, very welcome!

Super shots Mark, particularly love the mono

Boofers · 19-06-2007, 14:51

all reaching to the dark side,,,the first one is right on with the pier,

JMitchell · 19-06-2007, 16:30

3, 4, 5 are nice!

Tigress · 19-06-2007, 16:33

3 & 5 for me!

Dark Star · 19-06-2007, 16:43

1, 4 and 5 for me with the mono being the stand out shot! That is one lovely conversion and a wonderfil composition!

stupot · 19-06-2007, 17:29

well worth the trip out Mark, love the last two

Gary Bagshawe · 19-06-2007, 17:37

Great colours, the quality of light at that time of day is stunning

**Markulous** · 19-06-2007, 17:42

Thanks everyone, for taking the time to comment! Much appreciated

I had a little help with the mono (what can I say? I always find probs with mono!)

Of sunrise/set, the light is way better at rise, I think!

Love #4---what lens did you use? I like how the light just hints alittle on the rocks.

dogdots · 19-06-2007, 19:39

Oops--I ment to put in that I liked the hint of light on the rocks in #1. Its been a long day and alot left to it

mule667 · 19-06-2007, 19:46

Nice shots, Particularly like 3 & 5. And I liked the way you cropped 3.

**Markulous** · 19-06-2007, 19:59

Cheers, guys!

Lens in #4 was 'Boris' my 16mm Zenitar - great m42 lens (so all manual) which, given the right conditions, will turn in some great shots!

P-E · 19-06-2007, 20:01

Missed these........cracking set as usual

....even the clipped highlights
