Today was another sunrise shoot, weather forecast clear skies, but hopefully not too clear as I need some interest in the sky to make a better shot. My problem again today was going to be the broken lens. Oh and how did I struggle I had a promising sky, although in a narrow band and the horizon to the east did not look too dense with cloud, the long lens 70 to 200 was just too long to capture the Cobb and they sky above so it had to be the 10 to 20 however this leads to a very dominant expanse of the Cobb but that is aĺl I had. Setting up the horizon just below the top third was the only option.
I think the pictures do not do the sunrise justice but there was only the narrow band of cloud which gently glowed red from one end spreading along its length until it was like a fireball this only lasted a few seconds as the sun rose beyond the horizon so did the glow move along the cloud until nothing. But then as the sun came above the horizon it started to give the cloud a golden underbelly so two shows in one morning, a very pleasing sunrise but not, I would say, the best and definitely not captured the best it could have been.
A few shots from the Cobb later I was on my way back for breakfast with the better half.
The rest of the day did not result in any more pictures but we did have coffee and lunch out followed by a walk along the cliffs to the west enjoying our last whole day spotting fossils along the foreshore befor heading into town to settle down for drinks and dinner in the local hotel bar in front of a open fire.
