I was up regularly for sunrise because the weather was so hot that early morning was the only time I could walk without sweating too much. So I have many sunrise images. I also drove to Dick’s Creek one morning to shoot that waterfall just to do something different. The waterfall images are first; the sunrises are second.
And the collection of images from various sunrises.
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.
Another morning, another sunrise, another venture to West Bank Park to take pictures.
More sunrises. I went to West Bank Park several mornings in a row since the sky was right each day. Streaks like that do not happen often.
Two trips to Lake Lanier in the first week of the month. The first was for sunrise; the second was mid-morning after a rain shower went by.
Three outings in this one. First are a couple images from a hike around Lake Zwerner outside Dahlonega, GA with the Sonny Day Hikers. One is as the scene appeared; the other is my impressionistic treatment. Both are the same shot.
Second is a few from a sunrise at West Bank Park when the light was wicked good, and I even had a goose fly by so I could photograph him.
The last two are from another morning when the light was not so good. The ducks were the subject that helped out this time.
A couple of outings here: yet another sunrise at Lake Lanier, and a sunrise hike on Sawnee Mountain. There wasn’t much happening on the mountain, so I did some abstracts using intentional camera movement.
Two sunrises and a visit to Gibbs Gardens
More sunrises and a few things taken after thee sunrise: ducks and trees.
Two sets of images here. One is from a couple of great sunrises, the other is from a hike to Raven Cliff Falls with the Sonny Day Hikers.
