Story of a sunrise (with swan accessories)
The time: 06:00 - 07:00
The date: 8 April 2007 The place: Cosmeston Lakes Country Park The scenario: grab the sunrise, the mist on the lake Set off early, via Penarth Pier but the combination of lack of cloud (so not a great sunrise), the presence of someone at the Pier with a white lens and the knowledge that there'd be mist on the lakes made me proceed to Cosmeston!  Very early Even one of the swans is still asleep! OK, there's a bit of motion blur in this but I don't mind overmuch  Early Swans beginning to awake with the dawn chorus  Quite Early Ever hopeful of my having food for them (which I did - but feed afterwards!)  Earlyish They've pretty much given up hope - so look for food elsewhere  Not Early Sun well up @ 7:00. And it's moving on time for me to catch sunlit, dewladen flowers  Any comments - good, bad or indifferent, all gratefully received!

These are all quite stunning!
2 Early and 4 Earlyish really grab my attention. Well worth getting up early for. |

Re: Story of a sunrise (with swan accessories)
Gorgeous, the exposures are spot on and the colour saturation too, just goes to show that getting up early to use the quality light that is around at that time of day is well worth it. Now if only I didn't go to the pub every night and not wake till around 9ish.
 That said this has made me think that maybe 1 or 2 nights off wouldn't do me any harm and I may even get some decent shots.

Re: Story of a sunrise (with swan accessories)
Number 2 (Quite Early) and Number 4 (Not Early) both have the very unusual quality of a blurred water (as with long exposures) and perfectly focused, sharp geese. Was the water really this still or did you do multiple exposures? Also, the abnormally dark shadows present a wonderful contrast to the white, gentle swans.
Very well done. |

Re: Story of a sunrise (with swan accessories)
Not keen on first one, the motion blur does spoil that one really, but hey, look at the rest! Lovely shots full of atmosphere and peace, great set
Cheers, Rob |

Re: Story of a sunrise (with swan accessories)
I am getting a touch fed up with this.
Great pictures and how the hell do you squeeze that much detail out of a miniscule JPEG? |
