I was in Santa Barbara the night before and decided to make a go of a sunrise photo shoot as I drove north. Purely by chance... I pulled off Hiway 101 onto Palmer road. The hillside was vineyards and made for a nice morning shoot. After a brief stop.. I came up a small hill and it looked over the valley below... as you see it in the photo. A beautiful mix of sun, fog, and vines!Editing
Photoshop and Luminar are my fav’s.In my camera bag
Lately.... no bag, just my Canon and iPhone ready to go!Feedback
You can have all the equipment the world has to offer... however nothing... absolutely nothing will occur, if you aren’t willing to get up an hour before sunrise and get the shot! In other words, “just do it”. Oh.. and have fun exploring the wonder of our world!
