Sunrise over Pacific
Posted by Linerberry (Sumner, Christchurch, New Zealand) on 26 August 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
This is what i was greeted with on my way home from a night shift at 07.20 am! Its certainly worth doing nights if this is the reward!!!!
PS, no alteration necessary...as see as is!
Don't forget****** "Silly Tuesday" ******where you can post anything that is silly, funny, daft or just makes you laugh!!!
Its a family affair.....

@dj.tigersprout: Hay thanks dj, glad you like it. It was such an amazing sight. I couldn't believe my luck, I was driving along and trying to find a place to stop safely all the time hoping it didn't change too much! I was very pleased with the result. Cheers mate:-)

Kylie Greenan from Richmond, Australia
...so you changed your name, took up the night shift and became a professional photographer overnight... gosh I did miss a lot Max, I mean Liners ;o). There seems to not be ample enough words to describe this girlfriend, stunning seems to fall short. Brilliant sweetie, just brilliant, bravo!

@Kylie Greenan: Oh girlfriend you flatter me with the word professional...but thats ok I can take it lol!! You are once again very kind my friend:-)
I'm just a tad confused as to who I am now #!^$#*#$^%$&^%
Maxine from Rangiora, New Zealand
Way to go this is a stunner, but enough of impersonating me!
26 Aug 2008 12:39pm
@Maxine: Why than you max:-)) too kind! But who's impersonating who???? Am I the real Max??? Very "Moulder and Scully" of me:-)

@Observing: Thanks heaps Mike:-) Its a spectacular country NZ so a very fitting word!
@zOOm: Thanks heaps:-))
Tony Duque from Raleigh, United States
Wonderful shot... thanks for sharing your good fortune and skill. It seems illogical (challenges the paradigm?) that the end (presumably) of your waking hours on a day would be punctuated by such a vivid beginning of a new daylight period. I tried looking at this picture while standing on my head... no help.

@Tony Duque: Thank you Tony, and thanks for poping by:-) Hope you didn't hurt yourself on your head!!! lol
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
Its worth getting up for the orange clouds, try to stay away from midnight shifts.
27 Aug 2008 12:46am
@JoeB: Cheers Joe and thank you:-) I really do try to stay away from the night shifts!!!!
Jarrard from Athens, GA, United States
The play of light here is excellent with a great (if a bit compressed) dynamic range. I don't know your aperture, but a smaller one (higher number) might have given a more interesting flair of the direct sunlight. Nice picture.

@Jarrard: Thank you for your comments Jarrard:-) I'm still learning at the moment so I really appreciate your thoughts and advice.
K.B from Kvänum, Sweden
I love to see the sunset. Your image has most of what makes a good picture. Waters, and that one can imagine that there are no buildings on the other side. But instead of the camera, so you should have a hand to hold on, or even someone to kiss. Have a good day. A hug from Sweden

@K.B: What a really lovely comment...thank you so much:-))
Kathryn from Warburton, Australia
wonderful! i just told you the story of what i will be doing in my 'real life' so what is it that you do that has you working night shifts?? i just found out that the wonderful willow is a ER doctor and so now i am intrigued as to what everyone else spends their 'real life' doing - it would be a good theme day don't you think?? show what you do or where you do it!?!?!

@Kathryn: It would be a good theme day you are right! I'm a nurse:-)
