This pic represents my life lesson "you get what you get".
It doesn't seem to matter how much I plan a trip, when it comes to sunrise shots I always find myself scrambling around at the last second for a location.
We drove around frantically on this morning as every spot I found wasn't living up to what I wanted. I'm sure you guys know the feeling as the clock is ticking and any colour that you might get is rapidly approaching. And there I am, flying around in the Honda from fishing village to harbour just trying to find something that will look half decent.
At this point I gave up the fight, knowing I was out of time. I jumped from the car, scrambled down to the waterfront and quickly started setting up the tripod. And that's when one of the legs on my tripod decided it was time to disassemble itself as it came sailing out the end, sending the plastic shims that hold it in place in different directions.
Ah, whatever! Screw it! Should have stayed in bed.
Anyway, I cobbled it back together and got this shot. Sort of bittersweet actually because it was some wonderful colour and I would have preferred a better location. Ok, maybe I haven't really learned the "you get what you get" lesson afterall.
