January 2025 - Skaneateles Sunrise
About the Image(s)
Almost the antithesis of last month's preparation and capture!
My wife and I needed a night away from the kids and grandkids in November so we booked a room at a very nice hotel in Skaneateles, about 65 miles from Rochester. I always wake up earlier than my wife. On this morning I was headed up the street for a cup of coffee. The pier was directly across from the hotel. When I saw the sunrise I walked out on the pier with my iPhone 15 pro in Hi Res mode and snapped 3-4 pictures.
In post work I used Topaz AI Clear and DxO Tonal Contrast and Detail Extraction. The latter on the pier only.

Gary, beautiful sunrise with vivid colors. Great leading line given by the pier. The clouds are nice and crispy. Posted: 01/03/2025 18:52:45
Hi Gary
One of those special skies you often see around the coastline,the pier really leads you straight to that amazing sky,you went for your coffee at the right time that lighting is gone in a very short time. Posted: 01/09/2025 21:00:25

The color of the sky created a strong visual along with the pier and the pier made alluring leading line vista. The images is sharp and the maker made sure that the Parallel and horizontal lines were strait. Congrats my friend. Posted: 01/11/2025 04:27:10
Gary, Good symmetrical pier leading to a superb sky. As Ian says, this sort of light changes very quickly so you caught it at just the right moment. I like the way the end of the pier connects with the clouds. The colours all work together too. Nice one! Posted: 01/12/2025 13:57:15
