If you hate sunrise photos all I can say is I am sorry but the devil

made me do it. In any event thanks for looking and comments are

welcomed.

 

P.S. The only things I did in photoshop was run unsharp mask and clone

over one very small spot caused by dust on my camera sensor.

I love sunrise. The colors are very dramatic like it was on fire. The sihoulette lone tree & land is a good contrast & element in the composition.

Thank you Cherlyn. Lest I forget, I hope you have a happy new year.

Wow, you outdid yourself again! This is definitely one for the wall! It's absolutely stunning, Larry. I wish I could come up with some more unique adjectives and comments, but I'm speechless. Wow!

well composed with stunning colors, nice isolation of subject ~ GT

Thank you Kim, Thank you Glenn. It really was one of the more spectacular sunrises I have seen lately.

 

I have been thinking about shooting this and several other trees against the rising sun for several months. Just had to wait for the right sunrise. To be honest I didn't envision the color to be this bold. Not that I am complaining mind you.

 

The thing that I am happiest about is the texture of the clouds. That smooth creamy look is one I have been trying to get without success for quite a while. I have been experimenting with stacking a neutral density and a polarizing filter to slow down exposure times to get movement in the clouds. Ironically enough I removed all filters from my lens on this shot to cut down on the possiblity of flare. Go figure.

 

Anyway I digress. Thanks again.

Yep, I'd say you picked the perfect sunrise. Very nice indeed.

Thank you Jamie. A belated happy new years to you and yours. I hope it is treating you well.

It's the dawn of a new year and the setting of an old and I think these lovely images are a grand salute to that. "Eloquence personified."

Thank you Susan. I hope you are enjoying the new year.

We can look at many sunsets at the net Larry, but it is always a treat when done like that!nice with that lonely tree. Pnina

Thank you Pnina. :)

great color, and I like the lone tree. Those cottonwoods are ugly as sin, but they make great silhouettes :) Very pretty!

Thank you Kathy. You have a point with regards to cottonwoods. They aren't the prettiest of trees. I rarely photograph them when they have leaves. But I find myself shooting them a lot in the winter. And I don't know if you ever noticed or not but I am a little bit addicted to silouhettes.

I've noticed :) I don't do them as often as I see and admire others doing them! Might have to give it a shot tho...

Wonderfull sunset. Colours are wonderfull. Congrats. Pascal

Thank you Pascal.
