I've gone on previously in this blog about those photographers who tell you that in order to take great landscape images you MUST use the "golden hours" at each end of the day and I've said - "not true". Having said that, if you do get up early on a day when the weather is favourable then you will have the chance of capturing some dramatic images. My point is you can also get great images at other times of the day as well.
Anyway, this morning was one of those times when I was inspired enough to set the alarm. Looking at the weather forecast is important and today was due to be clear skies and fog - an interesting combination for the photographer. So, out the door by 06:30 and en-route to East Falkland hill. In the event the fog was really a low mist but just as rewarding. I've yet to work through the images taken today but I hope I've got a couple of crackers that I can put in the gallery. But even if I didn't capture a winner, just standing on the hill watching the sunrise over the Firth of Forth this morning was worth the effort of getting out the house.
Clear skies for tomorrow morning? Don't waste the chance to see nature at its best.
Set the alarm!
