Monthly Shooting Assignment: November/December 2012 "SUNRISES"

[barbara ann]

Dear Fellow MSA members,
Well, this has been a week to remember here on the East Coast. Although my town and myself emerged relatively unscathed from Hurricane Sandy, most people were not so lucky.
The newspapers and TV channels (when I finally was able to access them) were filled with the most horrible images of devastation. I freely admit I wept at the horror of it all.
But we must move on, thanks to folks like Kav, clean up and rebuild. With that in mind, the most symbolic of the dawning of a new day is a Sunrise!
So help me erase the pictures of destruction from my eyes and give me instead photos of the most beautiful sunrises you can find!
Color or B&W. Just show me the sun lifting up into the sky, bringing with it hope and courage that things will return to normal, no matter how long it takes.
Topic for November/December: Sunrises

Best to all,
barbara ann

This is timely as I just scanned this frame a couple of days ago, although it was taken back in February or March IIRC.

I don't have any non-digital sunrises on hand

This time of year, this part of the world, it's possible there could be no sunrises any time soon. We're into the gray and rainy months. Hope it's OK if I tweak this a bit to "Dawn". That early crepuscular light can be well worth getting up for.

Glad you are unscathed Barbara Ann. Hope those who had their lives blown and washed away get all the help they need to re-build.

Thanks for the good wishes, Sly. By all means, "dawn" is well within the parameters of the topic. Look forward to your always interesting images!

Well, you've got two whole months to shoot some with film! Go for it!

"Purple Sunrise over Grey Mountain" by Anthony DeLorenzo is a fine start to this assignment. I'm sure there will be more to come from other MSA shooters.

Ha ha. Those are exactly my thoughts. I will keep a watch on the weather forecast and keep a camera loaded.

Technically, I think this fine image is outside the rules, because IIRC the shot needs to be taken during the appropriate time period.

But I'm certainly not complaining.

Whoops, sorry about that. I tried to look for some rules but couldn't see anything... And it is a 'new' image for me not just one I shot.

I'm sure I'll be able to shoot another in the coming months to replace it... With the sun rising at 10:00 am there is no need to get up early.
