A sunrise sky over the Pacific Ocean from the Woolgoolga Headlands viewpoint, at dawn on April 23, 2016. This was about 20 minutes before actual sunrise, with the sky brightening with twilight and with dark crepuscular rays cast across the sky from cloud shadows. The Full Moon was setting in the west behind the camera — I had shot it rising the evening before looking the same direction as this panorama. This is a 11-section panorama with the 35mm lens oriented portrait. Each section is a 5-exposure high dynamic range stack. All stacking, tone-mapping and stitched in Adobe Camera Raw.
The sunrise sky over the Pacific Ocean at the Woolgoolga Headlands, NSW, about 20 minutes before sunrise, with a brilliant twilight sky with crepuscular rays emanating from the sunrise point, caused by cloud shadows. Venus is just visible above the cloudtops at right, as a morning star. This is a high dynamic range stack of 5 exposures to preserve the range of brightness from the dark ground to the brght sky. All with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D.
