East Gator Creek Road at sunrise, November 2012
On the water’s edge, watching the sun rise.
Distant clouds add color and rays to a magnificent moment.
Reflected sunlight reaching around a rock close to shore, creates golden ripples.
I stand – tripod steady; camera set; release in hand.
Deciding which instant to save and relive later.
Did it matter? Musing now, they are all marvelous moments.
I got up one morning almost four years ago at 4:30am to go out with my camera and make this photo. I enjoyed making the photo. I don’t really remember not enjoying the early wake up. Lately, I’ve slept in. I need to either go back to getting up early or turn into a sunset photographer.
Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. Now, go make some photos!

When I saw the title, but before I read the blog, I decided I would have to remark on the extraordinary and inspirational dedication you show to photography, pre-dawn starts included. So no backsliding, OK?!
Thank you, Rhona. I’m going to try hard to live up your splendid encouragement!
Those sunrise shot can be a challenge…that alarm comes so darn early. Nice sunrise shot Ed!
Thanks, Jeff. And you should know about photo challenges – you are one of the hardest working photographers I know. And you get some real killer shots.
