Today I have learned that “dawn + camera = great photos”.

Who would have thought that waking up before the sun comes up and picking up your camera could get you such amazing shots!

When I went out it was raining, and cloudy, and I was resigned myself to do reflection shots through puddles etc, because the sky looked so dull.

Then I saw it, the sun started peeking through the clouds, and I was so excited that I pulled the car over at the docks and started snapping away. It was still raining, so I was careful not to get the lenses wet. I was able to catch the sun breaking through the clouds, creating amazing colour contrasts.

By the time I got to the beach, the sun was higher and the rain had stopped. The sun was dancing along the clouds and the water, so needless to say, I was a bit trigger happy trying to capture my first sunrise.

I am looking forward to my next morning adventure into dawn photography!
