Photographing sunrises

Alberta sunrise

I love our Alberta sunsets that are often amazing shades of orange, my favourite color by the way, and I think that's why.

My natural sleep pattern is to stay up late and not rise until the alarm goes off at 6:30am, so I catch the sunsets, but not usually the early sunrise.

Last night was one of those nights I could not sleep however, and got up at 3:30 am to do some work.

At 5:00 am however, I took a break and looked out my window and what I saw was so cool!

All of the east/north east facing houses off in the distance had windows of such a bright orange they looked like they were on fire.

I took some pictures that look great. I also took some and played around with some motion shots to turn the windows into flames perhaps like an actual fire.

Here's one shot I took that, out of respect for neighbours privacy has been cropped to show just the blur of the various windows so does not look as nice as the entire picture but still kind of neat.

Maybe I just might start rising early to catch more sunrises like this mornings...nope, on second thought I am not a morning person so for my families sake, I will stick to my current routine.
