chasing sunrise by summerfield

chasing sunrise

we got up early and drove almost 30 kilometres from owen sound, ontario to meaford, ontario, just to catch the sunrise. i wouldn't have minded so much if i didn't get to see it, but partner was so determined for me to photograph the sunrise. the sky was already quite light when we arrived at our destination and of course i was contented to just sit by the shore, set the camera on a picnic table, use the wireless remote then shoot through grass and trees.

no, he wanted us to get to an elevated point which was damned rocky that he had to carry me part of the way. but i must admit it was a better vantage point to be right centre of the sun. it was a glorious sunrise.

feeling much better today, thank you for your concern. hope my canadian friends all had a wonderful thanksgiving.

sooc. (on PP oct. 9-12)

This is a beautiful shot, and that bird flew in for the occasion too!

Beautiful! I had to fav this one- not only for the wise persistence of your partner, but for the fighting thru the flu attitude to get up early and capture the sunrise. Not to mention I think it's beautiful- oh but I did say that already!

@olivetreeann - ann, thank you for the info. i did see it. quite alarming. partner is "peddling" to have my fall/river shots displayed at a coffee house. i also have received an order for a copy each of my niagara falls shot and the "new moon" shot with the toronto skyline. goodness gracious, this is just a hobby!
