Silhouettes and Sunrise
This morning, I slept in for me at about 5:30, but that was still early enough for me to head to the beach to catch the sunrise, I headed to a spot at the end of Walnut Beach and Wildemere Beaches, I am not 100% sure which beach this spot is, to be honest, but I guess that is not important.

This is the first shot I took this morning, I went to this spot to get some early morning shots around these old piles of an old pier or jetty.
The first colors of sunrise were just making an appearance as I got there and as you can see we got some nice colors this morning.
I did mess up with this shot, I had ISO set to Auto for this first shot and of course, my camera wasn't to know I was set up with my tripod and with the low light it cranked up the ISO to 8000, but even with that I still like this shot.

And here is the second shot I took this morning looking over the end of the damaged pier.
And I then spent about 45 minutes enjoying the beach and sunrise, for me that's the best way to start the day, and of course took more photos, but I only had time to edit a couple for this evenings post.

Truly a mesmerizing scene and what a beautiful way to start your day, Jay! The structures in second photo remind me of crosses. Hope you had a great weekend!

Great colors. Great start to your day. We get up early too. Hard to sleep in even when we have the chance. Early walks are the best. We heard coyotes still out this morning.

@steven-patrick I thin its the best time of the day, I have heard people reporting seeing coyotes here but I have never seen or heard one

Those are beautiful, JJ.... Caught my eye in the post promotion room in the qurator discord. I think I like your 'messed' up shot a little more... lol - maybe because it's in landscape which allows more of the sky's colours to be appreciated... :) Have a great week ahead, my friend! :)

@ackhoo Yes I prefer the messed up one myself to be honest and I do most landscape orientation, but occasional do a vertical just to be different

I guess it depends on the subject and what's suitable for that scene... it could be verticals but I find the thumbnails don't come out so well for vertical shots...

Submit
@ackhoo Yes I agree I seldom used to take verticals but for the local city magazine they sometimes want verticals for the cover so I shoot the occassionaly vertical these days

well sir...I mean JJ ...the colors were absolutely stunning! I mean if that's what it's like out there on the beach then even I might get up at 4:30 to be able to see it! Is anyone around at that time of morning? and it's still pretty much dark, I assume it's a safe area?
I don't know the area at all.
