..........I was at the Derwent Reservoirs in the Peak District of Derbyshire again today. The weather was cool and wet but the sun came out for a few moments just above the horizon of the reservoir. Beyond this point the reservoir wall is some 30-40 feet high and was used to train the pilots in the war - the film made of this was called the Dambusters, which many of you will remember! ;) I was lucky to capture this light across the water - this is the total sun I saw today - it was brief but beautiful!

Sounds like you're having the same problem I am having with natural lighting. The arch of the sunlight on the water really catches my eye, and it's the kind of thing that I'm looking for in my own pics of late...working with light and shadow seems to be the rule of the day when the sun is low and the days are short !!

Very quickly I made sure if 'twilight' is not any synonym to sunrise and having checked that, I feel absolutely free and even compelled by the beauty presented, to say: OK. LOL

Very nice capture Patti, a brief sun is better than no sun. The green really shows up nicely on the left with that bit of sun. :)

It is beautiful indeed Patti!About the sun, I agree with you,it is hard to take a photo of the sun that only comes out for a few moments, but you always take the best shot possible :) I love the water,it looks so peaceful and the sun makes it even more peaceful!!!Great one Patti, as always!The framing is nice too.

This is a very nice sunrise shot. I also like the way the water bends around the bank, and also the branches on the right framing the shot. Very nice, Patti.

Superb scene with some lavish light playin' about!! Perhaps a little thinner on the white frame or make the backdrop just black (with the white border) would enhance the view??

Why do the pictures come out square when the lens is round?? Picture Purrrfect .

The sweep of the light in the water is really good, it echoes the bank. I like the branches coming in from the right too, and the slope of the treeline in from the left. A very nice way to end 2007 Patti - Happy New Year!

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.
