First Sunrise of 2021

Early morning drive to the east coast, pouring rain and windy along the way! I can’t recall the last time I woke up that early, but it was worth getting the first sunrise of 2021 :D

First time shooting at the Makai Pier, met up with 2 friends and it was great time to catch up during this Pandemic. Now that 2020 is behind, Happy New Year 2021 and best wishes!

Sunrise was about 7am, so we were there on location around 530am.

Long exposure, over 2 min, 6 stop ND, and 3 stop GND filters.

Got splashed a few times when the waster hit the log :D

Dynamic Sunrise on New Year's day.

Having magic lantern loaded on my Canon 5D2 and using a wide angle lens, it was a good opportunity to test (again) the built-in bracketing feature for some HDR shots.

Bracketing was set for 7 shots at 1 EV increment. Processing was done through Lightroom with Google Nik Collection HDR Efx Pro.

Mahalo!
