A December Sunrise in Central Texas

A December Sunrise in Central Texas · 09:13 AM

Yesterday morning I was up and about early - went outside to get the paper and was stunned by the sunrise. Ran back in the house, grabbed my DS - just happened to have my Vivitar Series 1 28-105 on it - and got this pic. No post-processing - just re-sized it for posting.

Great job Chip. Sometimes it is better to be lucky then good. Trust me I know

It is wild how fast the colors change. I bet within 10 or 20 minutes it was something totally different from this image. Great job.

great colours & clouds - I'm a big fan of sunrise photos, most of which I take during winter so I don't have to get out of bed too early !!

Laissefaire, LaRee, Pat and Simon - I really appreciate the good words. And, yep, about 10 minutes later the sky was just kinda ho-hum. Luck and (sometimes) timing are everything!!

Stunning. Chip, that pic (and the story) is what photography is all about. Blow that baby up to poster size and hang it on the wall!
