Salthill at dawn
Sunrise at Salthill Promenade, Galway on October 6th, 2007. Buy this picture ?
I've been laid low since last week with a bad cold. Doesn't matter anyway - the weather - relentless rain and gloom - means that I haven't missed too many photo opportunities.
Sometimes, an exotic time is as good as an exotic location to get some good pictures, and for some people, getting up before 6am on a weekend is just a bit too exotic (those people are neither commuters nor parents). I get up very early most weekends in the hope of some interesting light, and as often as not, I come back with nothing. But, as the saying goes, the more often I set out, the luckier I get.
The picture above is one of a series of pictures I took on the same morning by the Blackrock diving board at the end of Salthill Promenade in galway. I started taking pictures at about 6.30am and finished around three hours later. The light was perfect and I was happy with many of the pictures. That was a lucky day.
Camera = Canon 5D, lens = Canon 24-105@24mm, ISO=50, aperture = f22, speed=1/2 sec, tripod.
