These were beautiful skies on March 15th and thankfully my husband woke me up from a dead sleep to capture them! I hit the floor running, as I threw on my clothes, grabbed my camera and tripod, put on my socks and shoes, flew out the door, climbed down the hill and proceeded to set up my tripod on uneven terrain. Whew....I was out of breath! The only regret is that I don't think I was fully awake yet, so I forgot to change my aperture. I changed everything else, but unfortunately it was on f/5.6, therefore the trees and branches in the foreground are not sharp. If I would have changed the aperture to somewhere between f/11 and f/22 like I normally do, everything in the picture would have been sharp and in focus. Oh well.....lesson learned! Hopefully next time I will be fully awake and have my thinking cap on. LOL
This was my first shot and as you can see....the horizon isn't quite level. My tripod wasn't cooperating with me or the uneven ground!
The colors in the sky were simply gorgeous!
Please hop on over to SKYWATCH FRIDAY and take a look at other beautiful skies all over the world!
Wow! marvelous sunrise shots.
ReplyDeleteGreat series, you were awake enough to grab your tripod. I wouldn't have been.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous...no need to apologize or explain what you thought were imperfections in technique. These are such beautiful images I don't think it would have been possible to "get them wrong". blessings.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra. All are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful feeling to wake up and watch the sunrise unfold.
Happy weekend and spring.
Great colors & composition! (Don't ya hate it when the horizon spills!)
ReplyDeleteYour photos are absolutely beautiful and instantly reminded me of Group of Seven, Tom Thomson's(google him) work. Your photos are of the same calibre and I love your playlist!
