Luke Cooper, A family at dawn (LIGHT/SHADOW - Entries close 30 September 2026)

Location: Lake Mulwala on the Murray River, Australia. Using a Canon R7 with Sigma 18-50mm lens. S-1/80, f/11, 50mm, ISO250, Tripod. Having set out to capture the colour of the sunrise over the lake, I was surprised to be joined by a family of Black Swans who appeared out the reeds in front of me. Processing was primarily adjustments to colour, exposure, cropping.
