Up entirely too early :) I was at the Point at the beginning of Nautical Twilight so I'd have time to set up, before Civilian Twilight. This shot is the moment the Sun peeked over the horizon.
For those not familiar with the three types of twilight, you can reference:
Thanks for your comment :) The dot.. A bird :) Rather easy to clone out, I probably should have done that. The rocks, I have a few shots with more rocks (grabbed 200+ shots in this set ) The rocks due to the extremely low light I was working with had no detail. You're right, probably would have been best to not have them. I'm going to head back there on a bit more cloudy day, and hopefully capture more color with more texture :)
Wonderful colour in this one! The jet trail or light cloud is a nice touch running through the frame. Is that little black dot in the oranges a bird? It's a bit distracting, but the vivid colour definitely makes up for it! As well, I would have like to see either more of the rock at the bottom of the frame, or to not see it at all. Great shot~!
