We're making the most of daylight savings, which is due to finish in a couple of weeks.
With the sunrise occurring at around 7:10am, we can get some photos of the
pre-sunrise colours, and the sunrise itself, without having to get
out too early.
However, once daylight savings finishes, the sunrise will be an hour earlier, and it'll be a bit harder to get out of bed to catch the pre-sunrise colours!
I got together with some colleagues early on Thursday morning, in South Perth. The forecast for that morning was for a chance of a shower, so we were hoping for some clouds over the city, along with some sunrise colours in the clouds. The clouds were certainly there...but the sunrise didn't produce much colour in the sky.
Here is one of the better shots from the morning.
The new Perth Ferris Wheel is lit up at night, is very visible from a distance. We're intending to shoot the Ferris Wheel from the foreshore one evening, when it is operating, to get some long exposures of the wheel in motion.
Several more photos from the same morning are available in my gallery.

Wow....that's almost creepy. I'm surprised there aren't any bats flying about :)
