Sunrise over Tonle Sap Photo

Photographer’s Note

Sunrise over Tonle Sap lake. Metered on the sun and slightly underexposed. The banding effect on the sun comes from a heavy layer of smoke in the air,

Nice shot. I like the compo here, with the sun positioned nicely in the frame and the birds filling the empty spaces throughout. The color of the sun is quite magical and makes it stand out from the almost mono background. My only concern is with the noise of the image. Are you shooting digital or film? There are a few tools you can download from the net such as Neat Image or Noise Ninja to help combat noise in images. Anyway, well done!

Welcome to Trekearth!

The sun is really impressive with all these tones of yellow and orange. I agree about the noise but its ISO 800! Anyway i like it very much!

Nice sun set colours and the birds, especially the one in front of the sun, add nicely active elements. Welcome to TE!

Welcome to TE Justin. Really nice shot.
First of all I thought it was a scanned print. I tried a workshop with Neat Image for decrease the noise and increase de sharpness.
Have fun on TE.
