hired goon 5,043 Posted December 30, 2018 (edited) Sunrise at the jetty yesterday morning. Shooting into the sunlight washes out the colour so I went for an old-timey look (inspired by @awty). Nikon D750 camera + Tamron 70-200 lens @ 200mm, f/11, ISO 100, 1/640 sec. --Geoff Edited December 30, 2018 by hired goon 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
