Show Clouds Sunrise/Sunset

Wow!!!

Peter, I believe you have just captured my idea of heaven. What a place! I know you've taken many photographs of these pools...and I'm always falling into rapturous states... It's happened again.:cloud-9-039:

May I ask if this particular image has any special post processing going on? By special, I guess I mean did you do something different...is there an HDR component?

Thanks. It has been done with HDR software but only to fuse 3 shots together to get the shadow detail and prevent the highlights from blowing out. The colours and saturation are kept as close to natural as possible.
 
I seem to be the only one that gets up early in the morning to post sunrise pics. Bear in mind that it is now winter in my part of the world so I expect to see some more sunrise shots from the other side of the globe.

This morning I went off to Bronte in the eastern suburbs of Sydney to take a series of shots from pre-dawn to post sunrise. Here are 3 shots from that...

Peter, I am extremely jealous! I want to dive in - particularly in that first one! I have posted a bit more over on Flickr. I feel like a broken record...but what can I say except that I'm ocean pool struck!:bravo-009:
 
Thanks BB. This is the first shot from the series, but I expect you noticed it on flickr. I think I missed it slighly on composition with the placement of the bollard at the front. I should have moved to the right by about a metre. Non-the-less, most seem to pick it as their favourite of the set in other forums in which I have placed it...

Bronte Pool 1 - Ghosts of Pre-Dawn Swimmers by peterb666, on Flickr

There are a few people who have dived in, but none stayed for very long.

The Coogee Pool shot to which you have added some comments in flickr and is also on the previous page in this thread was interesting. It was taken during a very small 'windoiw' of dry weather in a foul, cold and windy storm. Despite that, the occassional person decided to go for a dip in the water. Bad weather results in some of the best sunrise shots so makes up for the discomfort. :D

Another amazing shot from you. Nice work, love the remnants of swimmers.
