Light Shaft Through Woods. Oakwood Metropark, Wayne County, Michigan.

Here's a color version of the dramatic sky in the previous image with more of the landscape showing.

A kind of chaotic scene that was improved by the mist and light rays coming through.

A new day is a new morning game drive when you are on safari in Africa.They usually begin at 5:30AM to 6:00AM and oh are they worth getting up for.

 

Game drives are timed to see the most animals engaging in the most activity. The wildlife of Africa sleep a great deal as theirs is a life of hunting and survival.

 

In Botswana, the safaris are usually conducted by the operators of the lodges where you stay. The guides they hire have vast experience with the wild animals.

 

The guides accommodate photographers, of course, but I learned that other safari goers are not keen on stopping for sunrise pictures. They don't want to miss seeing animals but they don't know what they are really missing. I managed to get a few shots of the sun raising over the wild lagoons of the Delta.

This is on the beach at Brighton on the south coast of England, I could see those people walking along silhouetted against that Marvellous and stunning sky, being at the right place at the right time, I have got something similar taken on the same day. Taken of Ilford 400asa b/w print film and scanned into PS.

Early morning in Byron Bay. The night before had been a pretty big night at a wedding, getting home in the early hours. Even despite the exhaustion, my insomnia still kicked in at 5 am so it was out and about exploring the area with camera. I had been up to the lighthouse, which you can just see in this photo, and was wandering back along the beach watching people and dolphins playing in the surf. A great way to both start the day and cure a hangover.

It's that time of the year...

One of the pretty snowdrops in my garden being illuminated by the morning sun---yes, the sun was here, amazing :D

Fairy glen... The deep ditch. Betws-y-Coed

On the way to Mount Rainier with my wife, and only three minutes from the house we had to pull over. Probably the most amazing sunrise I've seen in my life. This picture just doesn't do it justice.

A Moment in Time

Probably one more for Sliders Sunday, as tried to enhance this the best I could. Also, as you'd probably guessed on my earlier effort on this shot, the Yacht was added from another shot I'd taken.

 

I really missed my tripod for these seascapes.. For one I ended up with too much movement on the bracketed shots to make into HDR, and two I had to shoot them at a very shallow DoF, due to the low light.

  

Although posted a bit early, decided to add this to the Sliders Sunday group, HSS everyone :-)

Misty Winter morning in the forest with radiant sunlight and burnt out motorcycle.

Charlotte has left for the day (she was in her usual spot last night.) Taken soon after sunrise, in patchy fog.

Flowing and glowing

A few days ago the luck was with me. Mist & Sun, even my slightly sickness couldn´t hold me back. It was the same day as the drone shot before (more to come).

A rain-soaked rose catching some morning rays in the garden yesterday.

I added a bit of texture and also twiddled the image a bit further in Analog Efex Pro.
