First time Shooting a Morning Sunrise

12 years 10 months ago #112501 by mswiech
Hey, First time out taking pictures of the sunrise. Located the highest point in the city I live in to take the shots. My daughter and I were about to leave as the sun was just not cooperating this morning, and half way down the trail the sun started to come up from the haze in the horizon. Please let me know what you think.

Sunrises and sets are tough on settings. You did a great job.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.
