Soft Focus Pompey

The light was gorgeous, but by the time I'd qietly got dressed, found keys, camera adn tripod and driven the mile to the view point it had changed. It was so cold too, frost on the car to scrape off too!! Light was rubbish but I liked the twinkles in the city so shot that instead of a flat sunrise. When I got home and made a cuppa I looked out the window and the clouds had parted and there was a golden orb in the sky which was a dramatic orange.
Lesson for today? Wait in the car for the light to do what you hope it will and check time of sunrise. Also change time on camera to be correct one for those looking at exif data, as mine is 2 hours fast!

A lovely image, pity about the light and the cold. Things change in such a short span of time.

You still have a lovely picture of the early morning light. Just shows how quickly the light changes, and is so unpredictable.

Or, you could leave the camera time alone and mess with the minds of all the folks who will wonder if the sun rises at an odd time where you live. Hee hee.
