This morning, I happened to be awake early enough to see the sunrise, and it was a very pretty one. I also happened to have my camera very handy – these scenes change very quickly. I find there’s always something emotionally powerful in the dawn.
Quite often, pictures really are about noticing the moment, and recording the beauty. This water drop, hanging from a seed-head, arrested my attention one morning this week. For this picture, I’ve cropped down the original image, leaving enough background to harmonise with the reflection in the droop itself.
I haven’t joined in here for a little while due to many commitments, but I saw this subject and was once again tempted to take part.
I’d like to introduce my readers to a highly valuable photographic accessory: An alarm clock. It’s also good to have handy a flask of tea or coffee, and some chocolate or other preferred energy food to sustain you at ridiculous o’clock. Oh, and you’ll need a tripod.
Plan an early-morning trip to a place of scenic beauty where you have a good Easterly view, and you can capture pictures like this:
Incidentally, you may care to look at my other blog post on this subject here – and check all the other submissions here.
It's kind to share!
