Black Friday Sunrise

Tips for Shooting Sunrise

The most beautiful times of the day are sunrise and sunset.  Most of us have the opportunity to see a sunset often but catching the sunrise takes more effort .  This past Friday as many people around the country woke up early to take advantage of Black Friday holiday sales, my girl and I were getting up extra early to shoot the sunrise at Bryce Canyon.

 

As we arrived we found other photographers with the same passion for catching the first rays of light from the sun.  To capture the most beautiful part of a sunrise it is best to plan on arriving at your destination 30 to 45 minuets before the sun comes up.  I love watching the first glimpse of sunlight, but I also love the silhouettes and colors that happen right before the sun comes up.

The  images shown were shot with a Sony A900 using a 35mm 1.4 Carl Zeiss lens.  The exposure was F2.5 @ 1/100th.
