Sunrise Photography
At times, I wake up very early in the morning . . . before first light . . . with a dream telling me to wake up NOW because there will be a magnificent sunrise worth photographing.
This morning, I woke up early, but with NO dream, wondering why my internal alarm system had awoken me. Peeking through the curtains covering the window, I saw that even though it was still pretty dark outside, there was the hint of a good sunrise–a band of dark red just above the horizon and clouds over it. My best sunrise photographs have been the result of the rising sun’s interplay with dynamic clouds.
By the time I was at the beach, the sun had already popped above the horizon. However, because of the clouds, the sky looked resplendent. Coupled with crashing breakers against the shore, the sun rising through the clouds made a beautiful image.
