Simple Sunrise - Santa Cruz, California
Landscape Photography in 21 Minutes
Landscape photographers are known for scouting a location hours, days, even weeks ahead of time and simply waiting for the best light and conditions to come along.
But every once in awhile, it goes like this:
07:10am Cat wakes you up
07:10:30am Look out window and see the sky exploding
07:11am Search frantically for shoes
07:12:30am Head out the door with camera gear still wearing pajama bottoms and crocs
07:14am Notice new staircase is complete down to a nice looking beach (not intended destination) and pull over
07:15am Arrive at beach and set camera up
07:16am Take first photo
07:21am Take this photo
07:31am Coffee and breakfast back home
