Anniversary Sunrise DSC_0852
I set the alarm for sunset allowing for the maximum sleep-in I could get away with. I woke early, before the alarm, in our tent facing the lake and, as nature was calling, thought I'd have alook and see whether I might be in for a sunrise. Upon pulling the tent flap aside, I saw the horizon lit up with orange. Bloody hell, the sun is rising earlier than was predicted. Obviously that's not possible but in the "world is against me" photographer mindset, that's what happened.
I grabbed my camera, already set on its tripod, pulled on some shoes and raced out in my Moose PJs, across the swampy foreshore to the edges of the lake. The sun began to rise behind the mountains, casting an orange glow and some red. Pretty, but heavy cloud over the lake, seemed to contain the colour. Then, just when I thought it was over, the colour exploded into red, pink and gold saturating the clouds and bathing the water below in spectacular style. I did not need to do much processing to this image, rather than enhance the colour, I almost had to pull it back!
A beautiful way to greet out 29 years of Marriage.
