  • It was a summer morning on Abaco in the Bahamas.  With a quiet morning I headed out in the early morning to find another photographer already at Sunrise Point.  For the span of thirty minutes we watched the skies lighten and the sun rise and then quickly go behind the clouds for start of another nice day.

  • While waiting for sunrise at Moraine Park in Rocky Mountain National Park during the fall a light layer of fog filled the valley. With the sounds of elk in the distance we waiting for the sun to rise. However when it did rise this is not what we were expecting. The fog diffused the sun and the rays turned orange. Turning the camera a little I was able to position myself with a tree between myself and the sun for this image as the sunlight filled the park

  • In September 2008 while visiting Estes Park, I had planned to photograph around Bear Lake one morning. As the first hints of light appeared I was halfway up Bear Lake Road and realized I would be stuck in the clouds. Quickly thinking of some other options, I decided to risk a risk and change locations. Finding a pullout, I headed back down the road and went up Trail Ridge Road where at tree line I emerged from the clouds. Knowing Rainbow Curve was not too far away I made it to the turnoff with about 10 minutes to spare prior to sunrise.

  • March along the Inside Passage of Alaska and British Columbia can bring various types of weather. As the Malaspina sailed south towards Bellingham I encountered great weather for the majority of the trip. This allowed for some nice sunrises along the way. As I made my way to the front of the vessel along British Columbia I watched the sun rise onto the bow of the boat. This was a great start to the day of watching the scenic landscapes all around.

  • In early November the latest sunrise of the year in Denver takes place. Sunrise was at 7:32 AM MDT, tomorrow sunrise is at 6:33 AM MST due to the end of Daylight Saving Time.<br />
<br />
When I arrived at a popular location to photograph Denver I noticed there were clouds to the east of downtown Denver. The key with the clouds is if they are thick are thin clouds which will light up just prior to sunrise. I got lucky this morning with vibrant color for a couple of minutes providing this look of downtown Denver.

  • Arriving at one of the more popular locations for sunset photographs of Denver, the sky was clear and the wind brisk. Soon the colors of the sky started to change as civil twilight passed. I noticed a few small clouds a little north of my location and thought it would be nice if those moved south to be in the image. It then came to mind this was the start of the system moving into the city over the next twenty-four hours which was fto bring snow to the city. After about ten minutes more clouds started moving in and I was wondering if enough clouds would develop in the right location for sunrise. As sunrise approached at 7:29 MDT, more and more clouds started to move into the frame and then shortly after sunrise the image was captured.

  • A new year has begun and I took the opportunity to photograph the first sunrise of 2013 in Denver. Heading to a familiar location I set up my camera and waited in the chilly conditions. I was watching the weather in the days leading up to the new year and it appeared the weather which brought a light dusting of snow on the last morning of 2012 would move on and clearing would start overnight. This was exactly the case as the sun lit up the clouds for a couple of minutes during the first sunrise for the year over the skyline of Denver.

  • It had been clear in Juneau for quite a few days in a row so I took advantage of this and headed to Sandy Beach to photograph the Treadwell Mine Pump House. In the winter sunrise will happen down the Gastineau Channel which allows the sunrise color to fall behind the pump house which I captured just prior to the start of winter. On this morning, low tide had just occurred at 1.2′ and it was starting to head towards the 20.1′ just after lunch.<br />
<br />
The Pump House is one of the few remaining structures of Treadwell and is a well known site for those familiar with the Juneau area.

  • Upon the arrival at the outlook over the city the colors in the sky were starting to change color quickly as just enough clouds were in the sky for color to be present over Denver. This image was just prior to sunrise and as I have done in the past I let the buildings go to shadow for the most part in this image.

  • Located in the southwest corner of Lake Tahoe, Emerald Bay is a picturesque location on its own. On this morning I work up early to capture sunrise over the lake to find most overcast skies. Finding a position to capture the scene I was quickly treated to a burst of color over the mountains in the distance at the pre-dawn light which last just a couple of minutes.

  • I was looking out the window at the clouds moving just prior to sunrise. I grabbed my camera and quickly headed down to the Gastineau Channel just as the sun was rising for the last day of November. With some clouds around the sky started to light up over some mountains with fresh snow on them from the rain earlier in the week. The colorful skies lasted for a little while before the overcast skies moved back in for the remainder of the day.

  • During the equinox there had been smoke from fires in the west as well as some much needed rain in Denver. Last week I took advantage of the clear skies to capture sunrise over Denver. At this time of the year the view from Sloans Lake allows the sun to rise directly over the buildings in downtown Denver. Preparing for this at the western edge of the park I position myself close to where I felt the sun would be over the city when creating this image.

  • One morning while walking around Sloans Lake in Denver at sunrise I noticed the shape of this tree in the distance. As I approached the tree the sun started to rise over the horizon fitting in perfectly to the scene and providing for the starburst look using a small aperture as well as the leaves on the tree to provide the effect while shooting into the sun.

  • During the 2010 Rock 'N Roll marathon in Denver, I found myself in lower downtown photographing some of the runners as well as the early morning light. As I prepared for the runners to come past Union Station, I saw the first signs of light starting to shine on the sign at the train station capturing this scene under blue skies on a chilly morning.

  • Driving down a dirt road outside of Missoula, Montana on a fall morning I passed through an area of fog. As I emerged from the fog, I noticed a small barn in a field on the left side of the road. I stopped to photograph the small barn and when walking up the road for a different angle noticed an area by a gate where you could look down the length of the fence. As I composed this image, the early morning light started to glow as it passed through the fog providing the magically light found in this image. Prior to leaving Missoula I would visit the spot a handful of times but was never able to recreate this morning.

  • On my final day on the North Shore of Oahu, I woke up early to make my way towards the Banzai Pipeline. As the early hint of light started to appear in the sky, I knew Sunset Beach Park would be my destination. Using a long exposure and the morning light, the magic of this location is discovered in a simple photograph. On this morning as I photographed the changing skies and weather it proved to be a lasting reminder of my visit to Oahu.

  • When visiting Maui an earlier morning is definitely worth it even if you are on vacation. The drive to the top of Haleakala can be a long one especially if you are on the western side of Maui. However when you get to the top and experience the cool temperatures and in most instances the sun rising over the clouds you will know you have made the right choice. You can always head to the beach or pool and take a nap when you get back to where you are staying.

  • While out photographing on a morning with marine layer in the San Diego area, I headed to Harbor Island which is along San Diego Bay. As I was photographing the morning and what there was of the light I noticed the person in the above image heading away from the city. Not being at a good location at the time I just wrote of that opportunity. However about 15 minutes later I saw them heading back towards the downtown area of San Diego and found a location to capture them in the morning light with the skyline in the background as well.

  • The sky begins to show the start of another day in Denver from Sloans Lake. Located on the western edge of Denver, the park is popular location for running, biking and enjoying the day.

  • While on a trip to Hawaii a few years ago I headed to Volcanoes National Park and on one morning headed towards the shoreline in the park. As I was descending the hill the sun started to rise and in the barren space noticed this one tree which would make a nice element to add to the image. Quickly heading over the terrain I got to this spot just as the sun was heading through the tree capturing this image.

  • I started the day by photography the San Francisco skyline from Bay Farm Island and while driving back I noticed the sun rising through the Chuck Corica Golf Course in Alameda. With the morning mist in the area filtering the light I quickly found a parking spot and captured images of the scene as the started to rise. After about 10 minutes the scene changed from what first caught my eye on this quiet morning in the East Bay.

  • In March of 2013 after a Saturday snowstorm I headed to Sloans Lake in Denver to photograph at sunrise. When I got to the lake in below freezing temperatures the steam was rising from the lake. Positioning myself for sunrise I wait to the morning light to pick up more of this steam with the City of Denver in the background from just west of downtown.

  • I headed out to a pier near downtown Juneau to capture the early morning light prior to sunrise. With sunrise almost 8:00am it doesn't require that early of a wake-up call but still enough to get the pre-dawn light. As I have mentioned before outside of the cruise ship season it is definitely a different city.

  • I have captured sunrise over Denver from Sloans Lake many times. On this morning with the difference in temperature between the water and the air steam formed right at sunrise but soon burned off as the sun climbed in the sky. Just as I was about to leave this location, a flock of birds flew into the frame for a few seconds which I was able to capture.

  • On a recent trip to Maui, I made the trek up Haleakala for sunrise at 10,000 feet. There was a caravan of cars up the mountain in the early morning hours of my first morning in Hawaii. Using the time difference to my advantage, I went early in my trip as my body was still three hours ahead. Once getting to the top it was a little bit brisk with a constant wind as well, there is not a place to be wearing shorts and flip flops as you wait for the sun to rise. I picked out a location up a little path and set up my tripod starting to photography the stars as I waited for the sun to rise. The image for today is a pre-dawn shot and with a longer shutter speed was able to capture some of the movement of the clouds just below me. Once the sun rose it was time for a little exploring prior heading back to Kaanapali and some time at the pool.

  • For the first morning of 2014 I headed out to photograph the skyline of Denver as I have done the past couple of years. This morning there was a system which was moving through which prevented a colorful sunrise as we have had the past couple of years. It was still nice to get out and watch the first morning of the year start with Denver as a backdrop. As I left the location some snowflakes were present as well.

  • In early January 2009 snow fell overnight leaving a nice winter scene. Seeing the snow start to fall on Saturday evening, I planned to wake up early to get out to Washington Park prior to sunrise and see how it had been transformed. It was quiet in the park and as I headed to a tree which I found almost a year ago a slight chill was present but the beauty of the snow covered surroundings quickly made it go away. I photographed this tree once again from the original position and prior to heading elsewhere in the park I decided to try a different view of the tree from what I had photographed before providing the image Winter in Washington Park.

  • An overcast morning can lead to creativity while photographing, which was the case on this morning in Hawaii. The overcast skies allows for some longer shutter motion and with that you can give a scene a different feeling. With the water moving along these rocks on Oahu the water turns into almost a fog on the rocks as it climbs and recedes on them in a quick fashion just after sunrise.

  • On Thanksgiving morning a few years ago, I drove to Coronado and took some images after battling the temptation to sleep in that morning with the sound of heavy rain heard against the window as my alarm went off before sunrise. After debating for a while, I decided to grab the rain jacket and head on out to photograph. Battling waves of heavy rain which would last a few minutes I took some pictures of the San Diego skyline. One thing I noticed at the Coronado Ferry Landing was how the skyline reflected on a restaurant where workers were inside cleaning and getting ready for Thanksgiving customers mixing the location as well as the holiday for the image.

  • I could have stayed in bed and continued dreaming, however I woke up early and headed to Rocky Mountain National Park and the Bear Lake area. After photographing around Bear Lake at sunrise I hike a little over a mile to Dream Lake. As usual there was a stiff wind, and once I got to Dream Lake it just started to howl. I didn't spend much time around the lake, as this was also a scouting mission for future trips towards Dream Lake later this winter.

  • The start of a new year is usually marked by sleeping in late due to the celebration from the prior night heading into the early hours of January 1st. To start off 2012, I fought the urge to sleep in and woke up in time to capture the first sunrise over Denver. As I waited for the sun to rise it was obvious people were still heading home after a long night, however like myself they were treated to the clouds lighting this first morning of 2012.

  • Walking through Havana in the morning you can watch the city come to life. Just after sunrise I was along the Malecon and came across a group of men who were fishing prior to heading to their daily jobs. This was a common site along the seawall most mornings. As I was capturing the scene a cruise ship entered the harbor for the day bring an additional splash of color to this scene.

  • On Thanksgiving morning this past year I headed to the Lake Merritt area near downtown Oakland to capture the city prior to sunrise. For most of the years I have been doing the Thirty Days Project, I have photographed first thing in the morning the skyline where I was on Thanksgiving Day to allow me to spend time with family the rest of the day. This morning while along the lake there was already a steady number of runners and walkers out for their morning exercise.

  • I started 2017 in Juneau, Alaska. That day I headed out to photograph sunrise and sunset which both brought plenty of color. For sunset I was at Auke Bay when I started to notice the color starting to appear in the sky. I found a good spot near Statter Harbor and watched the sunset for the evening. Plenty of people stopped by this location to capture the sunset using smart phones to large cameras.  Towards the bottom of the image you can see a little bit of a harbor seal which was enjoying swimming in front of us this evening as well.

  • While visiting San Diego a few years ago, I made a pre-sunrise trip to La Jolla Cove. One of the things I noticed was the motion of the water coming in and the rock which was being covered on each iteration. Using the low light to my advantage I was able to use a slower shutter speed on my camera and capture the motion from the water in the image.
