Photographs and commentary by Dick Snoke
I was in the habit of rising early to walk before the heat got unbearable. So I was at West Bank Park several times when the sunrise and lighting was very interesting.
First is August 9. I had good light and the waterfowl co-operated nicely.
Then I started a streak of several days in a row. On August 12, the fog was settled in, and I got no good images. On August 13 however, things were much better. While not all that colorful, the light was interesting and I got better images on my walk after sunrise.
On August 14 the light was better, and I got a nice sunburst image to end my walk.
Lastly, on August 15, the light was brief but spectacular. The intense color lasted about 10 minutes, no longer. And the sun in the clouds on my walk as fun too.
Lastly is August 17. Interesting and difficult to shoot. I had difficulty finding compositions and difficulty getting the exposure right. But the geese cooperated.
