Sunrise on Fire

The sunrises seem to be getting better and better this week. This is this morning's display. Simply stunning to watch.

Zipped

Something a little different. About a year ago I purchased a 135mm f/2.8 lens off ebay. Little did I realise that it was a non-Ai so could not connect to my D90 without going through a conversion. Yesterday, I went to the Brisbane Camera Market and found an old teleconverter for $1 that had had its interior removed thus rendering it an extension tube. I could now connect the old lens to my camera. Eager to try it out, I grabbed my daughter's pencil case which is made up of zips. I now have a lens that I can use, albeit within a very specific range and at f/2.8, with a very nice drop off in focus. I am sure I will have fun experimenting with this combination.

This morning's sunrise made me wish I was down at the beach for it rather than at home getting ready to take the kids to school. It looked spectacular. 5 image stitch.

Dawn over the Noordwijk aan Zee dunes. It was freezing cold and dark as I made may way across the dunes trying to find somewhere interesing to take photos. I probably should have scouted it during the day time, but could not, so was taking pot-luck. I managed to find a small rise that silhouetted the sparse shrubs against the sky.

I liked the subtle curve of the petal's edge from the top left to the bottom right of the image, with the vibrancy of the middle.
