Tanglewood is the park near our place. Lately I’ve been challenging myself to find interesting snapshots there — I feel like this one qualifies. One frustration out outdoor photography on this side of the U.S. is we never get that sublime blue sky of the West that is so perfect it even looks great in black and white. We get a lot of haze and a lot days where the sky just isn’t much help.
However, I’m finding that the early morning sun gives the haze a certain shimmer it never has the rest of day. So, better pictures.
Got any tips for shooting a sunrise? Share with the class, please.
No tips really, but I concur on shooting in the morning. Since my kids are in and beyond high school, I’m now accustomed to getting up real early. And so I take off for hikes real early. Even if I have a two-hour drive for a hike, I try to stop when the sun peeps up, and get a shot in.
In general, the light is just way better in the morning than at noon.
I guess I do have a tip though: go to bed early the night before.
Cloint and pick!
