Friday Photo: 8 February
February 8th, 2013 at 8:12 am by ChthoniidTodd seems to have enjoyed his day off on Wednesday, so I think we’re short a scenic photo of NZ this week.
So that’s the motivation for this alpenglow picture from the Hauraki Gulf
This effect is usually seen just before sunrise, where the light reflects off clouds or mountains.

Yup… most fishos will be familiar with this scene… the change of light is when the big fish bite.
The Gulf is calling …. Yee… hah!

The best pictures of Auckland contain few Aucklanders, if any. Curious!

It reminds me of an old saying of mine -
Red sky in the morning – it’s going to get light soon!

Good to know that photographers aren’t the only people passionate enough about their hobbies to get up before dawn
@RRM
I assume you’re not counting the plethora of insect and spider pics I’ve posted, as native Aucklanders?
@Uplander
A very wise & prescient saying

I would like to have seen more natural light here. True light or not, it looks photoshop too much
