I was up before the dawn on all 3 days of our vacation, but only went out the first day to shoot on the beach this early, as the light and color were not quite as spectacular as it was on the first day. It was quite amazing!

This shot was taken a few steps away from the North Lake campground near Bishop, California. I am used to something or other coming up during the very short fall window which we have here in California. This time I was determined not to miss my opportunity and wanted at least one shot of the beautiful yellow aspens and the towering mountains. After watching the California fall colors website diligently, I ventured a guess regarding when the North Lake Grove will be peaking and thankfully it perfectly aligned with the new moon date. So, I made a two-day trip to Bishop California. I reached just before sunset at the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains to get my astro shot with the Bristlecone Pines and then drove to the North Lake campground to car camp for the sunrise shot.
After waking up and walking a few paces I was at this stunning location primed to capture the first light on the mountain peaks. I don’t think I will ever get tired of the sight of the first light of the day. Usually this light is very faint, and you have to pay attention to see the slight difference in warmth at the top but at the Sierras usually, the intensity of the warm tones is much higher and hard to miss. I only used a polarizing filter here and took care to meter on the light at the tip of the mountain. The camera and tripod were set as close as I could get to the freezing water and focus were manually adjusted via live view.

Weather app(s) said 100% cloud cover and rain. Let the dog out first thing and saw a break in the cloud right on the horizon. Grabbed the bag and out.
The best ones are the unexpected ones....Ear phones in and this comes on a streaming station I listen to called Groove Salad. Title stolen from an eels song. Music supplied by Air.
Mono Lake and its other world formations are among the best places I've ever shouted. Even spendinding just one sunrise and one sunset there, the amount of descent and different images I've got is amazing, Is one of that places you can really play with light and scenery with endless possibilities,
First light in the morning. It's not often it happens that I mange to get out of bed before sunrise, but it happens. I went up just after 3 am, this was taken around 4 am. A few dears stood on the filed but they disappeared before I was ready with the camera. Enchanting.
Tropical storm Barry put a crimp in photography plans earlier this week, but I got out to Busch Conservation area before the storm rolled in for a colorful sunrise.
Moraine Lake sunrise at this time of year is always a battle among clouds, rain and morning rays of sun, sun barely came out and made the day for small gathering of enthusiastic photographers.

Rame Head, Cornwall
Following on from the 2am night shoot of the Royal Albert Bridge at Saltash – Brunel’s masterpiece and a bucket list location for me personally, our next destination was Rame Head and a chance to get some shuteye before sunrise. By the time Geoff and I had surfaced Mark was already gone and shooting… no surprises there!
It must have been all the travelling and lack of sleep (I do like my minimum 8 hours kip) that I found this location difficult to shoot and have by-passed it so far with my uploads, but there is always something to pull out of the hat. Bland into dramatic I like to think… a bit like Lyle’s Golden Syrup – out of the strong came forth sweetness.
If you don’t get the association, have a look at a tin of Lyle’s
Sunrise at the beach with colourful high cloud filled sky and flat surf at Umina Point, Umina Beach on the Central Coast, NSW, Australia.
As the sun came up over the tree lined edge of White Rock Pond it lit up the new Spring Foliage in a symphony of warm, brilliant tones I would have associated with autumn. The reflection that happens in the stillness of dawn completed the scene.
It's all right, the first light on the horizon before the sun rises and the sky becomes a glow. The silhouetted trees lit by the early morning light.

Sea freight is essential to the global economy, as many goods are transported this way.
