May 08 Photo Challenge - "Sunrise Over Sea"

jasonkt · May 6, 2008

I'd be excited to have the option of working with any of the song titles! Some good imagery possibilities there...

I vote for allowing sunsets so it's more fair to everyone. I would think you'd limit your submission amount if you limit it to sunrises.

Not to mention those of us that live in a land locked country.

Rhys, Pre-sunrise colors are almost the same as a sunsets colors, Pinks, deep oranges, etc.
Heres a Pre sunrise:

I think a lot of the differences in hue between sunrises and sunsets have to do with location. If east of the observer has a low horizon, then the observer will see more of the long wavelengths. If there are obstructions on the horizon, then the shorter wavelengths may predominate by the time the sun rises enough, therefore more yellows than reds.

If there is less pollution or any particulate matter in the air in the mornings, then there will be less emphasis on the longer wavelengths, and less red.

Often, there will tend to be more particulate matter in the evenings in any given location, so therefore sunsets can tend more toward the red.

But of course, conditions at any given moment are quite variable.

I'm also a noob. I was reading the sticky regarding the challenge. If I read it correctly, even noobs like us can submit a photo. I think we just can't vote on the submissions until we've been members for greater than 10 days and have more than 25 posts. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

You guys are good to enter the contest. If you have less than 25 posts and have been on for less than 10 days you will be ineligible to vote, but you can still enter the contest... Just have 25 posts by the end of the month and you'll be able to vote...

Anyway, the Challenge is open to everyone...

So from the sounds of it you people don't really want to open it up to the full album, but do want to open it up to sunsets right?

Yes please. I'll enter the two I've just shown if possible. They're somewhat special to me and I'll explain why, later.
