This Mornings Sunrise over the sea

Its 7:30am Here In South Africa.
And I woke up at 4:30am this morning, and headed down to Nahoon beach to catch the sunrise. And what a sunrise it was.

Comments please!


Before the sun hit the horizon(before 5am):

As The Sun Started Rising:

Very nice! I think what makes these is the sharp reflection of the light in the water. Wish I could have seen this in person.

Only suggestion is to watch your horizons. Quite a few of them are crooked. Great captures though!

Theres the Horizon, and then a big grey cloud bank, maybe your seeing the cloud bank, cos its formed at an angle.

BTW:


I dont have a tripod, all these shots are free hand. also i have a little compact 4mp cannon.

haha, the clouds look like a giant wave.

Very good considering your equipment limitations!

I love the ship silhouette in that last one. If you are planning to do this again try catching a better shot of ships passing by!

Seems like a good spot there; if you expect a heavily clouded sky it is worth waking up early and checking out for a spectacular photo opportunity.

Even taking the cloud bank into consideration they still look a bit crooked to me. Maybe its just my tired eyes. Still beautiful shots though.

I liked the one of the guy wading out in the water. Maybe miss surfing a little... or maybe just being near the ocean.
