EARLY IN THE MORNING, JUST AS THE SUN WAS RISING
This time of year is dominated by the sunrise. Or, at least it is for me. This year has not been spectacular, but it has been lovely.
Are these oddball? I can’t say. I took them all very early in the morning. Just at or immediately after dawn. I shot from a window off my bedroom where I keep a camera in case I see something.
It could be the dawn, a bird, clouds, or anything else. I can grab a picture before it gets away and often, these pictures are so ephemeral, they exist for mere seconds.
Moreover, I took all of these without benefit of eyeglasses. I’m was not entirely sure what I got — if anything — until I download the pictures to my computer sometimes days later.
All of these were taken on the morning of my birthday. It was a lovely morning. A rosy dawn, a golden sunrise. A good day to be alive.

The second to last image is great – so soft and full of the promise of spring

Thanks. That was the surprise in the shots I took. It was such a long shot, I wasn’t sure what I got. It looked good on the screen, but that’s not always an accurate indicator. I should trust this lens more. It’s really good … better than I expect almost always.

The purples are stunning.

Thanks. Purple, mauve and orange/gold seem to be this year’s colors. Last year, it was red, purple and pink.

Thanks! I’m glad it came out. It looked interesting through the lens, but I wasn’t sure there’d be enough resolution to make it a picture. When I downloaded it, it had more detail than I expected and using such a long (600mm) lens gave it that soft, fuzzy background. I like to experiment, but most don’t work out well. This one kind of did 🙂

It must be satisfying when that happens.

It is. And what’s better, I’m remember how I got it to work, so I can repeat it under the same conditions. That’s actually the hardest part, especially when you’re shooting in a hurry.

Yes, sometimes it is difficult to repeat those effects.

Thanks. I like it too. It’s a VERY long shot taken in low light. I was surprised it came out at all 😀

Sometimes those difficult shots are the most interesting! The camera picked up nicely what light there was!
