Fall Sunrise

I woke up around 5am this morning and it was pretty clear that I wasn't going back to sleep, so I got dressed and grabbed my gear and headed to the river. Within minutes I regretted it. It was -10C and I hadn't brought any gloves. But the tripod was all set up and the camera in place so I toughed it out. next time I will bring a hot coffee to keep the hands warm.

The sky started to lighten up around 6:15 AM, and within five minutes I was taking the first shots. This image was taken facing down river with the sunrise to my left. This was a 6 second exposure at ƒ11 to bring out the colors a bit. It would have been nice if there were a few more clouds for dark accents in the sky, but there are tons more opportunities for that.
