Today I got up early to photography the balloon festival at Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra. Unfortunately the launch got cancelled, but as I was already dressed and ready to go I decided to head down there anyway.
There weren't any balloons, so I had to be content with some pictures of the sunrise. The big decision was whether I should show the slight wave action or blur it with a long exposure. I think the long exposure ones looked a bit better.
It was interesting to see how the colours changed as the sun peeked over the horizon.
I took both my OM Systems OM-5 and my Canon 70D thinking that I would use both and compare the results. However, after using the OM-5 for the past year, the Canon felt so large and bulky I found I wasn't enjoying using it. I've also got used to composing the image using the rear screen on the OM-5 whereas with the Canon I almost always used the eyepiece, so this felt rather strange.
