Sunrise pics with the Kit Lens II

Sunrise pics with the Kit Lens II · 04:34 PM

I was stuck driving for my wife to go to a couple early yard sales yesterday morning. While driving to one of them I saw this scene of the sun coming up with early morning mist. Shot with the Pentax 18-55 II. It is a nice little light lens that I can actually hold steady....and surprises me on the quality of shots it produces....

No.2 is my preference - excellent. I'm never up that early.

#2 for me. Excellent shot.

I think more sky, plus the peeker sol, makes the second one.

cupic · 10-05-2008, 05:55 PM

cheers

Wonderful glow.

I like the 2nd better, just shame that the sun isn't visible on the right side of the "thingy" rather than on the left side...

Stunning in deed.

I could not decide I liked both of them.

I usually carry my 18-55 and DA 50-300 for connivence and ease. Both do a good job.

"Thingy" ??? Definitely a city boy!

I like both shots but favour the first.

Thanks for sharing.
