Monthly Shooting Assignment: November/December 2012 "SUNRISES"

[MattKing]

Whoops, sorry about that. I tried to look for some rules but couldn't see anything... And it is a 'new' image for me not just one I shot.

I'm sure I'll be able to shoot another in the coming months to replace it... With the sun rising at 10:00 am there is no need to get up early.

See the new thread I just started for the most recent version of the guidelines (and put in the general Member Organized Functions forum by mistake). I am not the organizer, but I remember helping put them together.

Please feel free to make suggestions.

Good choice, Barbara. Thanks for that. And good to know all is well your way.

Uploaded two I recently scanned from last year's trip. It'll do to get things started.
Got some thoughts on something I want to try around where I live, found a apot where I can watch the sunrise over the lake.

Finally found what was wrong with the Mamiya 645 Pro-TL, everything was coming out seriously underexposed. Thought initially it was the shutter gone.
Turns out these things have a small 6V battery under the body that I never noticed and guess what was flat? Yup...
Replaced it and it looks like it's back to normal. Had no idea that battery was needed for the meter!
Still gonna bounce it off the mechanic to check the shutter speeds but it should be OK now.

Hopefully will be able to use it for more recent shots. Got a pile of Provia 100F 120 to go through and a holiday coming up!
Hopefully the weather will improve here and we'll start getting some serious Summer heat and sunrises!

Glad you are well after the storm Barbara Ann, here I have some sunrises for you. Pentax LX + 300 mm and night frost.

Thanks for your good wishes, Bertus.

Oh my goodness! I think I've created a monster with my topic! The images so far are quite beautiful and I can see already that I'm going to have a really hard time selecting a winner!!
I just hope everyone enjoys this assignment and experiences some good moments capturing sunrises...

That is nice! So peaceful!

Thank-you, Noons.

Peaceful? Hardly. The wind was blowing so hard that morning, that I had to literally hold onto my cap! I forgot all about the power lines until it was light out.

I'm cheating, this is a sunset...

Shot on 35mm in my Mamiya 7 II & 65mm lens with 35mm panoramic adapter with either fuji Provia or Astia expired by a few years.

The first roll I ever ran through my Mamiya 7 II
