I hope everyone had a great day yesterday and that the warm feelings of the season continue on in your hearts for a good long time.
I actually did not plan to post the shot that I did for Christmas Day. I just got lucky that it came back from the lab in time for me to post. I shot it a couple weeks ago to use for “A Glimpse of my Town Tuesday” post and forgot all about it. I took some other shots with the Autocord of the angels close up. We’ll see how those come back.
Weekend before last I went out to shoot in the predawn light only to discover that the tide was out…way out. It was over four feet out. Everything you see in this shot is usually covered by the water. So, my plans were changed. I hung around for the sun to come up and took a few shot of a very clear-skied and mediocre sunrise. I used the experience to put to test a couple of ideas I’d had. This is my favorite shot of the few I took. The richer colors shown here lasted only long enough to meter and take the shot. I was all the way out on the eastern side of the peninsula looking out at the Chesapeake Bay. My oldest (the self-appointed bodyguard) was sleeping in the van. Now that she has her little digital P&S, maybe she’ll actually get out and shoot with me on these early morning trips.
Beautiful Sunrise
Beautiful shot and that scanner really is fantastic!
Hope your Christmas was beautiful!
Probably your best, just love it!!
Oh my. This is a wonderful shot. Your perspective, too, is excellent here. The colors are stunning.
One day, if I can get myself up early enough OR stay up long enough, I really want to get a good sunrise. Sunsets are awesome, but sunrises seem pretty wild as well!
Mediocre? Not! Great shot.
What a beauriful landscape. so quiet and so refreshing. I would like to be there!
Beautiful shot. Very inspiring
Excellent! What a great composition.
A gorgeous shot, what makes it for me is the splendid anmount of foreground detail you have picked up..not easy when facing the rising sun. Truly the best time of day.
Beautiful shot, Micki. Well captured.
Spectacular shot Micki, my favorite so far.
That is absolutely stunning, Micki! Very nice and, if I may say so again, what a scan!
This is as much an experience as a photograph and, as you mention, the light changes so fast at the extremes of the day. I am hooked on those light-struck rocks and the little ripples to the left are sooo cute. The digital daughter in your narrative is noted with much interest, too . .
I like the colors and the low camera positioon.
That's a great shot: good rays on the sun and a nice gradient in the sky.
Gorgeous new beginning!
WOW!!!! Sweet sweet sweet!!!
I hope you had an awesome Christmas season Micki. Looking forward to more incredible works from you in 2007.
Hey Micki this is really great work.
Beautiful!!
Wonderful shot. I really like the exposed tidal area of the beach.
what a beautiful shot
:o)

You captured a beautiful picture. the moistness comes through and the delicate colors are so nice.
pretty, pretty :o) i could handle a bit of this each day. lovely shot, micki :o)
It is a gorgeous sunrise. Great picture.
This is simply fantastic!
just wonderful..
quiet and beautiful..
all the best to you and hope to see you again in 2007.. :)
This is a great shot, very well taken
this must be one of my favorite photos of yours so far. it's brilliant. the colors, the darkness, the quality of light are absolutely marvelous. bravo :)
WOW. FULLY, COMPLETELY GORGEOUS!
Micki, I want to wish you a very blessed NEW YEAR filled with health, happiness and more beautiful imagery.
Just dropped in to tell you, that you have been submitted to my favourites at Google-Reader ;-) And some more: I like your philosophy. I, too, still have my Minolta X-700 Body, a couple of lenses, and sometimes I, too, put a Fuji-film into it. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the use of films any longer. Here in Germany, the cost of a single film exceeded 3Euro, and developing is expensive, too. So I've surely took my last series on Holiday in Denmark using that camera *cry*.
Enjoy your work as we do ;-)
Well, you could smack me silly with this one and I'd love every minute. Almost mythologically gorgeous.
(And thanks for the "atta-gals" on my sketch of Dave MacIntyre, he just has such a great face I had to try.)
