SP 3/52 - “Opportunities are like Sunrises -- if you wait too long, you miss them.”
We (my brother, brother in law Snarkphoto, and 2 nephews) awoke at 3am this morning to drive 160 miles to Cape May, NJ with hopes of getting some Sunrise shots. It was up to me to get us all going. The forecast actually called for rain in the morning with temps in the low to mid 40's, and winds of 35-40 mph. The whole drive in the dark was through wind and rain. Just as the Sun came up we were rewarded with this great Sunrise! An amazing sight and I thought a great opportunity for SP 3/52. Shot this with my 12-24mm and set the camera on the sand with my wallet under the lens to support it (was blowing close to 40mph and the windchill was just around 31 F when I shot this) .. I go in phases with my lenses, and lately I am really digging the wide angle Nikkor 12-24mm f4.
If I had waited too long this morning to get up (or paid attention to the weather forecast), we would have missed this great Sunrise. Stay tuned for more shots from a great day of photography and camaraderie .
