Virgin Dawn Experience

The last couple of days, I’ve been posting up a lot of first, from Sunset to landscapes to HDRs to Moon. Today, here’s a sun rise photography first for me. Waking up early in the morning just to go catch the morning sun rising over the horizon. It’s not the easiest of thing do, try dragging yourself out of the bed at 5 in the morning and start getting ready to head out to the location. It ain’t easy!

1. By the Port


2. The rising sun

3. The Lonely Bouy

4. The Early Bird

5. Another Misty Sea that looks like the top of mountains(?)

Do let me know what you think of the photos.  Thanks.

Some people asked me whether there’s any more of these photos, well, you can view the rest of the set here on my flickr.

    @jojo struys: hey hey …. that last pic? it’s shot on a beach, by the rocks, you can find such similar locations on most beaches. Just need to find the right angle and try to capture the moment. :D

    I try to keep as upbeat as I can. Lovely pictures! Feels like you’re sucked in a portal that you happened to be watching the sun.

    Have a nice day! Or, in your case, seize the day!
