Goodmorning......

I have just bought a new tripod .. and as I have never had much luck with tripods 'out in the field' I thought it was time to do some practice... So this morning I rose before sunrise and went to a nearby hill and waited for the sunrise on scale of one to ten it was about a 5 but this was probably the best part of it... but one good thing I navigated my way around the tripod without any drama's.. so think my next project will be some light painting.. @dide you up for that one...

You had a wonderful hill to climb up for that view! Lovely morning colours in the sky!

@maggiemae Yes Maggie we have several hills .. good for views... this is looking out over the Waikato River .. Mouth end... Onewhero hills with the sunrising behind...

Lovely landscape! Great light and tones.

This is gorgeous. Have fun with your new tripod. Especially doing light painting, it is great fun.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

That's devotion to the cause, rising before dawn in order to be ready to capture the sun's appearance. Congrats on the new tripod!

[Babs]

Beautiful shot and what a lovely start to the day. Look forward to the light painting.

[Keri]

What a way to start the day. Can't wait for you two to try the light painting.

[Dianne]

This is very cool - I see you had 2 second exposure, so you must be pleased. Fav

[julia]

@dide Yes next time I think I should take a chair as well as seem to be a lot of standing around waiting ..

[Paula W]

Bet it was lovely an peaceful. I'm hopeless with tripods and always end up getting frustrated and tetchy when I use them, my husband despairs!!!

[julia]

@paulaw oh that sounds so familiar ... I am hoping this one will be better.. so far so good... will have a few more 'at home' practices.

[Paula W]

Good luck!
