Hi

Nearly overlooked this one.... taken whilst walking to the set up for my previous image.. Full frame, couldn't decide on a crop

Was reminded that I hadn't processed any of these by Jacks Swan image.

All the best

Sunrise? What's that? Is this a view from your bedroom window? Lovely stuff, must have a go at this early rising now I have a high ISO master.

brilliant Phil, the colours on this are great and the fish is just that extra

Tim are you sure?

Sunrise is at 06.05 BST, therefore
Civil twilight is at 05.20 BST and
Nautial twilight is at 04.31 BST and
Astronomical twilight is at 03.31 BST...

so you use of that extend iso ( even out of you bedroom window) you have to get up at around 04.00 BST...

of course you could just buy a time release for the camera

as I cannot see a species called "Midnight Munsey" ever existing?

"Civil" twilight Tom? Don't seem right somehow. I will give it a go, I will someday you'll see.

Hi Phil,

Lovely light, lovely location and lovely subject.

Nice pano potential too I reckon.

Is it me or does it need a little clockwise rotation?

Mark

PS road testing my backup 40D this week and first impressions are that your advice was spot on so thanks
