Thank you in advance for any comments and Faves. I try to respond to all comments but apologies if i do not respond to a fave. Please know that they are much appreciated.


The very first sunrise on our vacation to Daytona Beach, Florida. I'm not a big morning person, so getting up at 6 am for this shot was interesting to say the least. I've found that it's more over what I get up to do that allows me to get up easier sometimes. During school or work, getting up at 6 am is difficult, and miserable. Getting up to watch the sun rise over the horizon, is well worth it, and is enjoyable.

It had stormed last night, and I was worried the sunrise was going to be covered up by the clouds. It got covered up as it first broke over the horizon, and cleared up once it got past those layers of clouds. 

I'm still learning how to get the exposure right on this, but I think the sun is decently exposed in some of the shots I got this morning.

Absolutely beautiful capture! The sunset alone would have been wonderful, but the birds add so much depth and beauty to the piece. Well done!

Beautiful photo. Those clouds and the sun. Those waves. I just hope I'll get a chance to take photo like that too. Nice work :3

Very well done! You caught the golden minute, although you were so tired. But: getting up earlier than everybody else is always special. Light, sound, animals, everything ist different than during the day. Have some nice vacation, getting up early.

Thank you so much! It was definitely worth it. I'll be getting up early more often on vacations, it makes for great pictures. Thanks again!
