When I saw the clouds I knew if I waited I could capture the colours, I was not wrong if you wait some of the most spectacular sunrises can be captured.Equipment
Nikon D5200 with Sigma 10-20mm lens, UV filter Hand held at 1/60th ISO 100 f4.6Inspiration
I love to get up early and try to take a photo each day, sometimes the weather is not the greatest however .I still take a peakEditing
I used Picassa 3 a llitle contrast a little sharpening.In my camera bag
As I live in Rockledge approx 2 blocks from the Indian River I usually take photos there however when I took this I was at Sykes Creek, I normally take the D5200 with my Sigma 18-200mm lens and sometimes i will use my D40X with the Sigma 10-20mm, So as not to mess with changing lenses in the field.Feedback
Watch early morning weather, plan ahead by checking sunrise times, and wait if there are good cloud formations for at least half hour after sunrise, some of my best sunrises are always when others have given up and they miss the best shots.....
