Swimming at Dawn

[CaptainNH]

The insomniac in me sprung into gear at 4am this morning and I felt an urge to capture some sunrise shots.

The sunrise itself was a little disappointing, but my favourite place on Sydney's northern beaches - Turrimetta - never fails to disappoint. I wasn't brave enough to venture into the water though - still too cold for me!!

I really love the lighting in that first shot and the action of the second...well done!

I have to agree the first capture is great, the lighting is excellent how it catches the rails on the left.

Welcome to DPS and wow what a post love that first one it is stunning and the second gives the sense of not loniliness but you know what I mean of an early swim peace maybe?

Thanks for the welcome and kind comments.

Now I've worked out a method for establishing my shutter speeds in the pre-dawn darkness, I've set myself a project - photographing each of the more than 30 sea pools along Sydney's eastern suburbs - I'll be very happy if I've captured them all within 12 months.
