Sunrise Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Wow, I actually got up for a sunrise... I can't believe it. Especially this particular morning, the previous night we'd been drinking until 2-3 in the morning with all the other wedding guests. A bomb wouldn't normally wake me up, but the orange sunrise colours streaming through the shutters woke me up, and I leapt out of the hotel with my camera before the sunrise at about 5am. This photo was taken just as the sun crept over the horizon opposite our hotel. Needless to say, I did actually go back to sleep after grabbing some photos. ISO200.

Good shot! I like the colors that takes the walls and the little layer of fog that cover the coast because "it's too early... Continue to sleep!".

Nice capture, Bob. The only thing I may have altered is your view to the water. Perhaps moving to your left and getting more of the off white building. That's only a personal choice. I find with so much really nice detail that my eye is wandering around in the shot.

Hi Bob,
Beautiful photo with excellent warm colours, great light and very appealing mood. It's worth of getting up so early. Very well done!

Thanks,

It's a nice picture ! La landscape with fogat the second plan brings areal origilanity and a real interest to this street picture. Your composition focus on this two parts, the colors are beautifull and sharpness is here too. It's a good work

Hola Bob, esta es una imagen de pintura al óleo. Excelente trabajo con la luz reflejada en las paredes y el paisaje. Una foto digna de un oleo de Velázquez. Saludos, Joaquin
