Sunrise

[ccphoto]

I've posted a number of shots from up on a lake where I also recently took the Eagle photos. The lake is located at coordinates: 30.352821, -85.556598 Each morning is of course different, but I thought it might be fun to show you what happens in the span of ten minutes, give or take.

Shot 1 is very predawn. Not even much of a hint of color though it is getting significantly lighter. From this time until the sun cracks the treeline, encompasses not much more than ten minutes.



Shot 2 starts the first hints of definition and color. I am showing the shoreline immediately at 45 degrees to my right.



Shot 3 is definite color and its when we get a real good handle on exactly where the sun will break



Shot 4, the sun breaks and we get perhaps another three minutes with the boat pilot deftly maneuvering the boat to drift through the treeline for varying shots.



Shot 5 is my "through the trees" pick.

It all happens so fast. Beautiful colours and interesting compositions.

Makes me want to be there in a boat with a fishing rod in my hand...

Great images, love the soft light in three. If only I could get myself out of bed in the morning.
