Drain Sunrise
After yesterday’s candle lit beach decorated for the solstice what better way to mark the beginning of longer days than with a sunrise?
I don’t think I have shown a Ross Bay storm drain picture at sunrise. This picture was taken last weekend, the same shoot that featured frost on the windshield and the spiral staircase in Beacon Hill Park. All in it was a good couple of hours out with the camera.

Love this shot, my friend, your HDR work is really standing out! Terrific textures and details here in this shot, and the tones are splendid!

Thank you! Early on I learned that one should not do HDR of moving water. Seems I forgot – or really, I just figured out how it can be done.

My favourite place, looking cold and Christmassy. Hope you have a marvellous celebration with your family and friends, Mr E!

Thank you Katherine – it does look chilly, and that sun seems to be coming darn near to south, which makes it seem colder. And my best wishes to you for a good holiday as well.

Stunning photo, ephem! I wish I had been standing in that very spot to see that sunrise, but this is the next best thing.

Thank you Lynn. It would have been a pleasure to stand there with you and watch it, though the clicking of my shutter and crunching of gravel underfoot might have detracted from the quiet enjoyment.

Great texture and feel. I really like the subtle “God’s Rays” on the left side of the image.

Hi Howard and thanks. I liked them too and tried to get more of them with a 100mm lens, to not as good effect but I might show one of those pictures in the days to come too.

The piece of driftwood in the lower right points right to the sun rising. That’s really nice!!!

Hi Ken – that bit of driftwood was a bonus – I did not touch it. There often seems to be a nice bit of driftwood at that spot, until someone pushes it off on new travels, or the next tide pulls it away.

Very nice textures on this one, especially the water where it washes over the drain.

Thanks Melinda – this being blended from three images, I had three water options to choose between over the drain area, but two were nearly identical (this being one of them) and really very typical for this tide.

Everything seems to come together just right in this picture
