I haven't shot a sunrise in my life. I'm just too lazy to get up that early

Sunrises are always magnificent at sea.

LOL, I just realized that I have not a single sunrise either, have to get a grip from my self to do that some day, although the sun rises here already after three a clock or so, and soon it nearly does not go down at all...

Does it mean one photo per person or one photo per reply?

[gpaual]

always difficult to consider exactly which is one's best shot. i have several sunrises all of which elicit different emotional responses to dawn, i chose this one, although the least correctly exposed of the series, for its mood, and for the sun flare through the clouds that bespeaks of morning bursting forth...../hope you enjoy....

Some wonderful sunrises here - I love that time of the day actually - so serene and calm. Here is one of mine;

here is my entry. It was taken in December 07, when I was testing my Xmas gift (Sigma 10-20). It was freezing and I forgot my gloves but I think it was well worth it...
