Oh I hadn't done a sunrise shoot in ages but last Sunday I'm glad that I got out early while it was still dark and braved the cold to do a shoot. The conditions looked good, I just remember hoping that the clouds will play nice for a good composition. I was joined by Umar and Taahirah who were keen to do a sunrise shoot as well. I wanted to shoot something different, not the usual sunrise over the ocean. We decided to head out to Wilson's wharf for a different perspective. The Durban skyline did not disappoint. The colours changed over 30mins from rich magenta to blue with orange making each shot uniquely beautiful. Toward the end of the shoot we noticed a flock of feral pigeons feeding at the shore. Every now and then they'd all fly out at once in an overwhelming burst of pulsating wings, circling in unison. They'd fly right over us an I swear I now know what little Bruce Wayne felt when he fell into the cave and the horde of bats came streaming out.
Here are a few of the shots from that morning:
