Sunrise

Nice Sunrise this morning. Normally I aim to take photos as we return from our early morning walkies but often end up missing it as the Sun has appeared above the horizon and the sky is washed out. Today I took a few shots with the iPhone4 using Camera+ as we set off.

The best one:

The same shot tweaked using Photomatrix Pro v4.1  ....

.... which is much nearer to what I could actually see.


The clouds were not the only orange objects in the sky. I was taken by surprise when I heard what I thought was a group of geese approaching while I was getting ready. Once they were near enough to make out what was making the loud honking noises I could see a group of five white swans whose bodies were glowing orange in the low Sunlight. Needless to say the camera wasn't at hand!
