The early bird get's the... light?


Recommended Posts

Had the pleasure of waking up around 30 minutes before sunrise to be greeted by some of the most spectacular colors I've seen in a long time here in Virginia! How many of you are an early bird and how many of you despise waking up early to catch the light? I'm usually a sunset-only kind of guy but I've recently found myself doing the opposite!

Hi, Drew,

I hope it's okay to drop in some photos in your thread.

I often walk before dawn - my favourite time of day (but not great for photographs). This is from a couple of days ago.

As the sun was just about to rise

At about the same time, facing the opposite direction you could see that pre-dawn light reflected in the buildings

and a glimpse of the moon as the sun was rising

I love waking up early when I get the chance. But usually I do so for working out, so I miss taking shots but enjoy the scenes to power through the strain.

Looks like you get to kill 2 birds with 1 stone in that equation!

I prefer sunrises over sunsets Drew, but I hate waking to an alarm - a necessary evil I'm afraid

Sunrises (for me) seem to yield better light/color sometimes over sunsets... but I'm pretty sure they're identical scientifically! LOL
