The Early Bird…

Sunrise and sunsets are always fun to photograph, and for the reason of not having to get up early, I prefer sunsets or winter sunrises. I’m sure that many of you agree that the end of a good night’s sleep includes waking up when you can see the Sun’s warming rays.

On the East coast of the United States, there is one place where capturing the sunrise is almost a ritual, as it boasts being the first point of the continental states to see the sun rise. Cadillac Mountain in Maine sits on Mount Desert Island in Acadia National Park. As it rises to 1,530 feet (466 meters), the sunrise view from the top is pretty early…

Watching the Sun rise

This shot was captured about 30 minutes past sunrise, as I caught these sun worshippers admiring the copper orb. The sun rose around 4:46 a.m. on that day, and provided some magic…

First Glimpse

We were the early birds on that June day, as we found a spot around 4 a.m., and it was worth experiencing this bit of magic!

    Oh, these are gorgeous! I love it when we visit the beach and it’s not an early sunrise. I’m addicted unless it’s totally freezing cold. I love sunsets too. I probably have thousands of photos! I love to see everyone else’s sunrise/sunset photos too! 😊 Sadly, we missed some opportunities for sunrise/sunset photos when we visited the Utah national parks. We would have had to get up super early, and it was freezing in some places.

      Thank you!

      In 3 weeks I will be visiting Valley of Fire in Nevada where we will shoot sunrise to sunset, and I look forward to it.
