[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I went to New Brighton Pier last Saturday with some fellow photographers to take pictures of the sunrise. The cloudy sky did not co-operate much with us but the sun was able to sneak in a few seconds while on the horizon for me to take this shot.

This was on Manual mode. I metered mainly on the horizon then composed my shot.

Cheers!

Hi Pierre,
I really like this shot. The bridge is a great lead in and the cool blue of the water and sky look great. The sun breaking through over the horizon is beautiful. Nice work.

Hi, Pierre

Nice long bridge, good thing the water is low. I like the blue color of the sky. I'm also doing manual shots but it takes a lot of time to perpect a shot. But you done it well. Thanks for sharing your picture.

Pio

Beautiful!
A very good capture Pierre :)
I particularly like the color temperature at the horizon, excellent sharpness where needed.
My opinion is, the bridge may leads-inn from the perfect top-right of the frame a little lower POV would have worked out good :)

Nicely done!

Great work.

Very nice work mate - a wonderful capture of this iconic (now, not when I was a kid!) landmark. Beautiful colours and excellent metering - the sun isn't too bright and the lights along the pier stand up well for themselves.

You showed what happened when you are working for a dynamic shot. In a non dynamic envoirment working to get the shot can get the result.
