A November sunrise - and a sun burst

LaFoto · Nov 9, 2006

Much earlier this morning I suddenly saw this wonderful colour, so I left everything as it was, put on my coat and shoes, grabbed the camera rucksack and hurried outside. I thought I'd go for a walk on my newly detected path to get some nice sunrise photos. Alas! it is November!

What that means? Look:

1.

2.

3.

(These three ^ were taken with the 350D and the 70-300mm lens, the following two were taken with the Powershot to get a wider angle)

5.

In the end I had to jog back to the car as not to get soaked :roll:
So much for a sunrise in November ... wonderful light is a shortlived thing in this month.

But sometimes the sun just bursts through!

November in North Germany for you...

WOW. I like number 2 and the shades of blue in number 4. We have had clouds and rain for the last three days in Delaware. Glad to see someone has decent weather. Nice shots.

What another excellent series.
The colours and texture in #2 is the best for me, it tells a story, lovelly and moody.
Makes me want to stop editing some shots for a client and go and point my camera at something that ain't travelling 70mph on mud!!!

Thanks folks

Whoever might think the last was achieved by means of any filter, either on the lens upon taking it or later in PS is wrong.
It was taken like this, no filters involved. Since I had the lens in macro (between 200 and 300mm) at the full extension, I had to lean into focus, somehow swaying to and fro to find focus and then ... shoot. Only later on the computer did I see what I captured
