That's a spectacular sunrise..true colour? It''d look impressive at a large size...and an interesting trip into the micro world, great action shot of the bee, I bet that took some getting.

Close, it was not quite that dark at 6am, Wish a had a lens wider that 50mm for that shot.

Cheers, Stephen

Wow, great sunrise shot Stephen. What amazing colours. I like #3 with the bee which has "full pollen sacks" (?). I expect one of the resident bee experts will explain. (When I first read the title of the post I thought it said "Sunrise, Beer, Spider, Fly Photos ..." :D and obviously asumed a wild previous night!)
Nex 5, Nex 6 (IR), A7M2, A99 and a bunch of lenses.

The framing on the sunrise looks good, I think if you had more wide angle you'd only increase the amount of black at the top and bottom (which you might then end up cropping anyway) and reduce the size of the prominent red area, what you could have done is perhaps considered a pan on a tripod, (as well) and stitch them together later..if no tripod was available you can sometimes jag it freehand "good enough", but difficult in very low light.

This is probably just my own personal quirk. I find the lack of white space between images so distracting that I just move on.

Stephen,
Thanks for the carriage returns...much easier in the eyes/brain.
