Honolulu Sunrise

Treated myself to a wonderful sunrise the other day. Man I wish I had an ND filter.

1.

hmm, I rarely use mine anymore. Why not just use two exposures and blend in PS?

After slowing down the shutter as slow as possible w/o filters, I use my wallet or hand to cover the sun and quickly release said object right before the shutter closes. Voila, perfectly exposed :P
That being said, I like the look of these photos as is.

These are all very nice as is, but I might crop the second one down to just above the clouds. Well done!

I didn't have a tripod with me, so I just figured it would be blurred.

Thanks madmacks, I had never heard of that before. Looks like I will be seeking another sunrise or sunset soon.

Thanks for commenting. The first two I feel are a bit too dark, but overall I still liked and thought I would post anyway. I do have another of the second photo without the space above.

Here is another version of the second image.

I like them all! Great Stuff.

Get a Blue n Gold Polariser...there's only one that's any good, and see what it can do...I'm sure you'll love it!
