The last time I visited Mahon Pool for a sunrise shoot was 11th May 2008. Almost exactly a year later on 11th April 2009 I was there again. Talk about coincidence eh?!
This time the weapon of choice was of course the 5D Mark II and 16-35mm II combo 
I have a set of Lee graduated filters but I don’t have the ring adapter to fit the lens which resulted in overblown skies in some of the shots. Perhaps it is time to consider purchasing the 82mm wide angle ring adapter and 105mm Circular Polarizer to stack along with the graduated filters.
We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful sunrise that day. The colors were simply amazing, the wind wasn’t too strong and I went home not only with dry feet but amazing photos. Don’t forget to CLICK for larger versions. Enjoy!
By the way, see if you can spot me in the photos – except in the group shot of course! 
I call this one “Vortex”
“Vortex” and this one would be my favourites from the day
You can see from this shot here the tide was rising real quick! I was extremely lucky as a huge wave hit the spot I was at just after I left!
Didn’t get to take many behind the scene photos this time as I was kept busy keeping my shoes dry
Can’t leave without a group shot from a great day with friends The group was smaller this time as the previous sunrise shoots must’ve taken a toll on them
Big breakfast this time included scrambled eggs on sourdough toast, sausages, mushrooms, spinach and a freshly squeezed orange juice. Hope you guys enjoyed this series!

Hey Kev, not sure at this point in time. We usually decide to go the day or night before but I’ll try to give you advance notice next time around

Havent done any in ages. The real work that actually pays for my existence comes first i suppose…

Yeah, I know what you mean. Gotta do something that ensures the bills are paid every month
I’d really love to go full time with wedding photography but unfortunately it’s not sufficient to pay the bills yet
At the moment I’ll take every job that comes my way.
