Beautiful clip. Opening scene of the sunrise and waves was spectacular. Wished for more surfer activity. Nice overhead capture of the swimmer doing laps in the pool. It's always a feeling of great accomplishment when I get up before sunrise and am in position to capture a great scene like this.

Lovely video! Beautiful scenery! Is that a salt water swimming pool? I ask because I swim lengths too but in an indoor pool since all the lakes are still frozen over.
To get the sunstars you must have had your 24mm lens stopped down (f8-f11?).
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks.
Yes it is ocean water pool. There is a pump house at the end of the pool so the water from the ocean is constantly pumped in and it spills over the edge of the pool back into the ocean. The f stop was not higher than 5.6. I use ND filters to stick with the 180° rule and avoid higher f stop numbers for diffraction softening the image at f8 and f11. I rather shorten the shutter speed if necessary.

I mostly shoot photos with my Mavic 3 Pro so no need for filters. I do find the variable aperture on the wide-angle lens handy for shooting sunsets especially when stopped down.
As for the pool, I imagine it would be the temperature of the ocean water. Regardless, it would be cool to swim in a salt water pool.

This is in Sydney Australia and the ocean temperature is balmy 23°C (74F) at the moment

That's pretty warm. I thought it would be colder. I think the temperature of the pool I swim in is around 25-28ºC.This is in Sydney Australia and the ocean temperature is balmy 23°C (74F) at the moment

I swim all year round in that pool and find the water to be a bit too warm right now
. In winter it gets down to 16°C (61F) which is bit of a challenge even for me. I do not stay there for more then a few minutes but some locals do laps all year round. The best part is that it is all natural untreated ocean water so no chlorine and other chemicals..

You are very lucky to have that pool. I usually swim in indoor chlorinated pools year round. Some people swim in the area lakes when the water warms up enough in late June but it is much more difficult to swim in a lake as you usually don't have any guide lines and the water is definitely not as clear as the ocean water in Sydney.
