Shot the sunrise Sunday morning about 6:30 AM. What do you all think of these?

Technical data: Pentax Spotmatic SLR 1000mm F8 Tele-Takumar Lens Heavy Bogen tripod Fuji Superia 400 Pentax digital Spotmeter 1/1000 @ F16 Epson 2450 scanner @ 2400 ppi Levels and gamma adjusted in PS6.0 Reduced for web The most amazing thing about the shoot was I could see sun spots on the sun thru the finder! They didnt show up in the pix however. Here's another I took before sunrise. 1/8 at f8 and its still underexposed unfortunately. I didnt have the guts to use 1/4 or 1/2 second with a 1000mm lens. Too grainy. Too bad as I liked the composition. http://jcoconnell.com/temp/1000_SHIPWEB.jpg JCO
