This morning the sun rose... by northy

This morning the sun rose...

After many a dull, cold and rainy morning, the sun decided to make an early appearance today... haven't a clue whether i really was able to capture the splendour with the camera and i don't care... I.WAS.THERE...

(and i took a squillion pictures and will probably subject you to oodles more over the next few days ;p)

Thank you for the honest and helpful feedback on my photo from yesterday... indeed, i think i fell for the tones in the light and failed to really think about the composition... I do have a couple photos of just the docks which I may upload later today...
This is amazing. What beautiful colours. Great job..x

Beautiful
January 27th, 2013  
Superb colors !
January 27th, 2013  
Looks gorgeous! The golden tones are just wonderful and it must've been even more lovely seen "irl". I've been wondering about the flares, too. Would one have to have a bigger (umm, wider? deeper? whut?) lens hood? Would that help? Or not?

Beautiful! Love the warmth and the shadows. I was in bed this morning, then saw the wonderful sunrise happening around 7:20. Got out of bed but didn't know where I could run to find an empty clearing for a good view.

I see you knew exactly where to go - good for you for planning and getting such a wonderful morning shot! Now you know how I felt doing the landscape course in the morning. Glorious! :)

@russianblue tx Kass... i actually wasn't sure what dawn would be like from there... just figured there would be something to see and as i had to get up to take one of my boys to hockey practice anyway, decided to chance it rather than going to the same place over and over again :) it really was quite spectacular this morning... i expect it would have been grand even if the sun was rising over a garbage dump ;p
January 28th, 2013  
Beautiful capture....glorious colours.

Whoa. Gorgeous. Although the yellow is a little toooo yellow for my taste, it's still a fav for me for those long shadows and the silhouetted trees.

Stunning shot....love the colors. FAV!

Wow - the long shadows and early, quiet feel. I love the sentiment ... there are times when it's time to let the picture go and absorb. In this case, you have the picture and you've absorbed - pretty sweet.
January 30th, 2013  
beautiful in every way, but those shadows, wow! fav!
January 30th, 2013  
This is definitely stunning, and makes me jealous for your real-world view! Love the smoothness of the snow and all the lighting.

ooooo, that's real pretty!! It almost makes me want to get out of bed early.....almost :)
January 31st, 2013  
@shutterbugger tx Jenn... it's a bit of a no-brainer for me... i have to get up to bring one of my boys to hockey practice for 6:30... no point in going back to bed ;p
January 31st, 2013  
no, no point at all. I just noticed that it was 8:05, which isn't bad at all! @northy
January 31st, 2013  
@shutterbugger yeah... sun rose around 7:40 or so... the earlier it gets the less chance i have of seeing it as my kid still needs help with tying his skates... as i was leaving the arena at 7am on sunday i saw the blue hour sky and it was amazing... i was kind of sad that i wasn't able to shoot it, but very glad i got to see it at all :)
January 31st, 2013  
Breathtaking
