Just as it looked when I peered out of the window early this morning.
The low weak sun on the mist gave the light a spooky sepia quality.

Hi All,
Well this is my first submission ever for a monthly assignment so please be as brutal as you need to be criticizing this image. I took it this morning it was a rather odd morning here in SW Pennsylvania and it couldn't decide what it wanted to do weather wise. The original spot I wanted to take the image I got there and it was pouring down rain. I waited there about 30 minutes and it wasn't letting up. I decided to leave and wait for another day, but when I was around the local mall, which was only about 1.5 miles away from my original spot, the weather decided to break and it turned into a pretty vibrant sunrise. So I decided to head over to the mall to the top of the 3 story parking garage and snap a few pictures. I was so out of it this morning that I didn't even realize that instead of my 18-105mm VR lens I had my 55-200mm lens on. Oh well what can you expect I hadn't had my morning coffee yet lol. I used my Nikon D90, 55-200mm lens with UV filter at 55mm, Aperture priority mode, F18, 30 sec shutter, and slow sync flash from my Nikon SB-600 all set on my Quantaray 9502 tripod. Let me know what y'all think please.
Gunner out

I associate early mornings with dog walks, so here's my submission:



Unfortunately, the detail in the water spraying off has been reduced in the down sizing of the image.

Camera: Nikon D5000
Lens: Nikon 18-200mm (just got it, first time testing it out!)
Focal length: 135mm
ISO: 200
Aperture: f/5.6
Shutter: 1/1000

Post Processing: Reducing the saturation, as I had my camera set up for vivid landscape shots before turning and shooting my dog. I guess thats the beauty of a superzoom

Early morning at 7.10am , the rising sun behind casting a glow at Leigh on Sea. The tide in the Thames estuary was out so the famous cockle boats were not going anywhere. No one was around except the scavenging seagulls. Sue.

Whenever I hear "Early morning" a picture for the sunrise pops up in my mind. Therefore, I chose a location were sea waves goes through stones in order to have the cloud look in between the stones.

Camera Model: Sony Alpha 300
Lens and focal length: 20mm
Aperture: F/5.6
Shutter Speed: 13 sec
Sensitivity: 100 ISO
Hoya 55mm CIR-Polarizer was used mounted on my SAL 18-70mm kit lens to:
1) avoid the direct sunlight reflection, and
2) to be able to have longer exposer without making the picture too bright.

Post processing:No Post Processing applied except for the down sizing

One photo out of focus is a mistake, ten photos out of focus are an experimentation, one hundred photos out of focus are a style. ~Author Unknown

Most people tend to dread incredibly dreary mornings such as this, I however love grey skies and dark clouds! (Shot through the sunroof of my car one morning before heading to class. The "ripple effect" is from the water drops that were covering the glass.)
