Tasmanian Sunrise

I was lucky to get home over the Queen’s Birthday long weekend to spend some time with friends and family. After moving to Melbourne earlier in the year, I’ve been a little lazy picking up the camera so it was nice to get out.

Originally I’d hoped to drive further but after sleeping in and almost missing the sunrise, I was limited for choice and had to make do with something close to home. This was captured from the Hobart eastern shore looking towards the city.  On a clear morning Mt. Wellington is beautiful for sunrises as the light briefly hits it and gives a slight orange/purple colour like in a previous photo from Lindisfarne Bay.

For some reason my camera auto white balance was very cold which explains the blue tinge to the image but I actually quite like it.

Photographed with a Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40, tripod and Cokin Z-Pro neutral density filters (.6 and .9)
