Anthony Straker, Sunrise at Urangan Pier (SEASCAPE 2023)

One of the scenes I hoped to photograph during my road trip for 2022 - the pier at Urangan at sunrise. I was lucky with the weather and colours when I took this photo. I visited the pier three times while there and this day the colours were beautiful. The image is a 7 exposure HDR (high dynamic range) composite, and cropped, with minor spot removal on three of the sets of piers to remove distracting points of light. Date taken: 12 September 2022, approx. 5:44am Camera info: Canon 5D Mk IV, EF 17-40mm f/4L, f/11, ISO 200
