To be honest, I wasn’t impressed with the sky this day. I thought it was going to be amazing because it had just the right amount of clouds to make the sky look interesting, but the sun made everything look really washed out while it was rising. So, I turned upstream and found better color.
Ya’ll know I had to get a sunrise pic 🙂
So, the last day I was there I woke up early and headed down to the beach. At first, I didn’t think it was really anything special. Then I saw the sun peak over the horizon and started heading for the clouds. I thought I’d wait a little bit longer to see what would happen and it was AMAZING! The sun started peaking out around the clouds and rays of light were streaming everywhere!
The first day we arrived in Cancun it rained a little bit. Not much to ruin our day, but it created some huge waves and left the sky really cloudy. I was hoping to get a nice sunset, but the clouds weren’t having it. It’s all good though because clouds look amazing in HDR. I love the drama that they bring.
Whenever I go anywhere, whether its for a conference, fun or anything, I always bring my camera and make it appoint to capture as many images as I can. So while I was there for Social Fresh, I knew the only time I could get some real images was before the days even started, at sunrise. I googled some Baltimore images and found Federal Hill. It was kinda unexpected how pleasant that neighborhood was for bring right next to a big city.
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Mine was so much fun and it helped that the weather was gorgeous this past weekend. It made it very easy to get up for sunrise. Once I got to Great Falls the colors in the sky was SOO crazy. It was all different kinds of colors and was so excited shooting. Can you blame me?
I left my house early in the morning and still really dark but cloudy. I got kinda worried that I wouldn’t see a good sunrise. So, driving to Great Falls it was still pretty dark until I got to the parking lot. I literally jumped a little in my seat because I finally saw color in the sky and got so excited. I ran out of the car and walked as fast as I could to my favorite spot in the park. I set up my tripod but had difficulty capturing the color in the sky. After playing with my white balance I finally got it. I had to change it a few times between shade and flash but I think it turned out so well.
