A week or two (or three?) back, my husband and I started taking morning walks — part sunrise hunt, part attempt at pretending we’re “morning people.” With autumn finally showing up and a new camera lens to test out, these walks have quickly become a favorite way to start the day. The combination of cool air, warm light, and a bit of time together makes it hard not to stop every few steps just to take another photo.
Of course it only lasted a few morning seeing that it ended up eating into our schedule too much. Plus, I’m not a “morning” person. I’m awake, but not functional. Like the t-shirt, ever seen that one? I like the one with Snoopy on the ground, reaching for his coffee cup.
I’ll admit, the sunrise is worth getting up for. Occasionally.
Its turning into the time of year that sunrises are easier to catch with the sun rising later (Western Hemisphere). The turn off with cold weather making me into an icicle.
This was taken on one of the nicer mornings.
I took this last photo on our last morning walk. We rushed to a new hiking trail, hoping it proved a better view of the sun. It started raining, drops off and on.
We didn’t hike, we took some photos and rushed to the truck.
Lightroom lightly touched these last two photos. I wanted to recreate the environment of disappointment.
No deep thoughts today, just a display of my preference to underexpose.
