And So It Begins, Sunrise at Convict Lake 10-19
(1 in a multiple picture album)
One of my favorite photography moments is when I pick a spot promising good sunrise scenes and go there while it is still dark. Then patience is required. Though the forecast has told me when to expect sunrise, the lay of the land has a lot to do with it. In this case, at Convict Lake in the Sierra Nevada, I began to doubt. The dawn seemed very slow in coming. After standing in the cold for more than an hour, I was beginning to think of leaving. Then I saw a band of gold on the tip of Laurel Mountain and began shooting. In the next fifteen minutes, the Golden Hour color moved slowly down the peak until the new rays touched the water.
While the sun crept up I noticed a lot of other colors on the lower portions of the peak which I had never noticed later in the day.
