Colour Before Daylight
Posted by Lee (Fort Frances Ontario, Canada) on 18 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
The saying goes something like....Red sky in morning-Sailors take warning. This shot was taken approx 1/2 hr before the sun broke the horizon.

Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
A really exquisite sunrise, beautiful colors and a great way to start the day! I can't manage to get up in time and travel to the other side of the island to capture the sunrise :(

Tony Duque from Raleigh, United States
That's an absolutely wonderful shot, Lee!. I call such a sunrise a bona fide flamer, and (by my experience, anyway) they're pretty rare. Your timing was perfect... I'd say you caught that show at its peak of color. Excellent composition and balance. Thanks for sharing your good fortune and skill!!

@Tony Duque: Thank you for the compliment. You are right, these colours are not very common.
@Eleftheria: Thanks for dropping by.

From experience I can say the sailor's saying is right. You caught this one just at it's best!
My house faces east, so I get quite a few of them, like this one...

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
I've looked at the photos in your portfolio and they are ALL terrific; your wildlife/animal shots are superb, as is this glorious sunset. My general comment on all of them is that the amnous3 across the top is a distraction, where your signature on each one is not. I hope you don't mind my saying so.
PS: If you're concerned about people printing off your work, note that AM3 compresses photos to 800 pixels in width; that's the largest I post. Height can be anything a vertical shot requires.

@Judy: Thank you for the wonderful word of encouragement. I agree that the watermark is a distraction. I will take it into consideration. Thank you and please visit and comment often.
