Camera: Canon EOS-450D Rebel XSi

Date: Jun 30, 2010
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/30 sec.

Date Uploaded: Jul 3, 2010

Holidaymakers rugged up and waiting in anticipation for a spectacular sunrise at around 10,000ft above sea level, shot from the Haleakala National Park Information Centre carpark.

I had the camera on aperture priority, ISO 400 and the shutter speed looked after itself.

Post photography included a little hue/saturation tweaking in Photoshop, cropped to 16/9 (800px x 450px) then saved as a high-res jpeg.

Hope ya like it!

Mahalo ;)

I'm over the sun with a top 20 on my first attempt!!

Thanks everyone for voting and I appreciate your comments... a virtual chocolate fish to you all. ;)

As many have picked up it definitely wasn't a chaotic moment (quite the opposite) but I felt the revellers were somewhat disorganised in their positioning as in the challenge description.

Thanks again!

Dave

This is a very interesting shot. I like how the chaos of the crowd is balanced by only the colors of the sunrise.
