Getting Up Early - Okutama Sunrise


Okutama Sunrise

The nice thing about winter is that the sun rises a bit later, the rough thing is that the sun sets much earlier. Seeing that the weather was crispy yesterday afternoon, I rushed home from Tokyo at about 3:15, but still could not make it down to the Miura coast for some sunset pictures in time.

The good news is that I may have one more chance to take a crack at a sunset shot tonight, and will definitely have another chance to capture the sunrise tomorrow morning.

This photo was taken last Friday morning at about 6:15 a.m. The sun had broke the horizon just a few minutes before this shot, but when it broke, the colors did not flourish. I snapped a few reddish hue shots, then with camera in hand, proceeded to get some fresh spring water to drink and wash my face.

A few minutes later, just after wiping my face from a morning wash, I looked at the horizon to see that the sky blues were becoming evident and mixing well with the horizon oranges and red. I knew that this was the shot of the day the moment I took it.

Will sit down and write a presentation for work, check some emails, then head on down to the Miura Coast for some shutter-bugging. I'm trying to finish a couple of rolls with the Mamiya RZ67, so I can see the results.... one of the frustrations or anticipations that we don't have to deal with in the digital world.
