Jasper's Sunrise #1
THE SUBJECT:
Another springtime dawn breaks over this ancient land spreading its light and warmth and burning off the mist in the valleys just as it has done for untold millennia.
THE LOCATION:
This landscape photograph was made from the lookout at the Mount Seaview turn-off along the Oxley Highway west of Long Flat, NSW, Australia.
THE MAKING OF ‘Jasper’s Sunrise #1’:
Six of us from the Port Macquarie Panthers Camera Club, in two 4WD vehicles set out at 5am in time to greet this sunrise on our way on a day trip to The Cells State Conservation Area and the old gold mine there.
The ‘Jasper’ part of the title comes about due to the Jasper’s Village Resort sign I was standing under when I made the shot.
Canon EOS D60 & Canon 28-135 IR Lens: RAW, f/4.5 @ 1/750sec, 56mm, -1EV, ISO100, Hand held.
Lightroom 2.2 & Photoshop CS3.
Visit the Sunrise-Sunset collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more sunny scenes.

My misty sunrise has been FEATURED in the Nirvana Group.
UPDATE: 2-12-09
My misty sunrise has been awarded an EDITOR’S PICK on the Better Photo site.
