Winter sunrise over Connaught Water, Epping Forest

John P will remember this as it was taken during an e-group outing that I think he largely arranged in November 2008

I have one that looks remarkably similar

At first I thought I'd got the colours wrong, but then I saw other peoples and realised that it really did look like that.

This is a superb example of the way to catch the first light, along with a good eye for composition.

It's also a reminder of a very enjoyable day out with a great bunch of guys, which is maybe the true value of photographs...

That's very nice, Ian, and I remember it well.

Graham, I think you have hit upon an essential reason why we take photographs - they're either to share at the time or share later, with like-minded people who have the ability to truely value what they see in the world around them.

Graham - I did warm this one up by tweaking the white balance

Those colours are fabulous. It's a nice picture, a beautiful scene but the colours are what makes it memorable, for me anyway.

Its a beautiful scene and reminds you that sometimes it is worth getting up early if you want to capture scenes like these

Not the usual colours one expects from a sunrise but this looks fabolous.

I'd try some HDR on this to give it more tonal range!
