Harbour sunrise

I was very fortunate to spend some time with a film crew shooting footage for the FIFA host city profiles to be broadcasted during 2010 recently. I did have to get up really early a couple of mornings as the guys wanted to get various good sunrise locations. This specific morning we were standing on the Settlers Freeway looking out over the harbour at sunrise. I posted a couple of similar shots I took from here a few of days ago on The Firefly Photo Files which can be seen here.

    I like very much the geometry that I see in your images, Firefly. Especially that middle one. The burgeoning colour of the sunrise, the silhouettes and the geometry all combine to produce a very pleasing view.

    Marvelous photos. I love the first, – the moment when the sun first lights the horizon is very precious.

    I love how you have captured the lights against the dark sky in the first photo. Nice color depth. Nicely done.

    If this is what the sky looks like at 5am, I'm gonna have to start getting my butt out of bed to see it! Fantabulous!

    Thank you so much for visiting my page – the photo is very deceiving, there's more room there than it looks to swim. You should the place when it's packed w/ swimmers!

    I especially like the last shot. The way sun is glinting at you from behind the building makes the picture feel full of expectation.

    Sunrise is a magical time that I usually miss out on….just not a morning person. But as winter approaches and sunrise is later, I'm going to make the effort.
