Early Morning Walk After First Frost
Lens: Vario_Sonnar T* 28-100 Camera: Sony DSC-RX100 Photo Location: Sacramento Valley ISO: 400 
Posted By: angkymac, 12-02-2022, 02:04 PM

A few shots as the sun was coming up over, and through, the colored leaves on a frosty cold morning.

I found myself very much wishing I had carried my K1 (bigger sensor).
When I was young, it was always a Pentax, for sure! (And the MX and the Super Program were pretty light cameras for the day.)
But now when an old guy wakes up, he does what his wife and his back tells him to do! (And the K1 is a heavy beast of a camera!)
My back spoke very loudly this morning, so I took the little Sony RX100--lightest camera.
My wife was only concerned about me not slipping down the icy steps (which I promptly did!).

Question: Do beautiful icy morning sunrises have an obligatory relationship with stiff backs?

Anyway, hope the images bring a tiny ray of morning sunshine to you.
And critiques and comments are very welcome.
(As is also some humor!)

#1. A wild grape vine draped over a frosty bush (privet?). Subtle lighting from high thin clouds over the not-yet-risen sun.
#2. Wild grapes on briars and other weeds--sun still just barely below horizon but bright sky's light glancing across the tops.
#3. Sun just clearing distant hills and shining through mist and a partially barren oak.
#4. Front lighted oak getting hit with direct horizontal sun rays.

It doesn't matter which camera you that you brought with you. The important thing is that you brought one. These are absolutely wonderful early morning shots capturing the changing scenes as the sun rose. You have a great knack for seeing, composing and capturing interesting and beautiful images as you observed them. If I have a favorite, it might be the tree shrouded in fog with the sun earnestly trying to burn through.

That sun shining through the mist and fog was one that I thought the best of the bunch also.
Glad you like it.
And thanks for the evaluation!

I like first one most. Next is second one. These two are very vivid.

Wonderful series, love the third one. When I take the full camera bag, it is strapped to a walker, when I just go for a wander, it is the Sony RX100 VII and mi I- phone.

Terrific series Angky. The colors and lighting really show the fall season nicely. I particularly like the third one. It has very nice atmosphere with the mist and sun shining through the tree.

Yes, those leaves shone out quite brightly. And their vines had interesting curves.
Thank you for your note!

I certainly agree with your perspective on carrying cameras!
That Sony RX100 is quite a fantastic camera for such a small device, isn't it?
Thanks for your appreciation of the images.

Thanks, Todd. I was sorta wondering about your perspective on that one as I was processing it.
