The weather has been a little strange this year. For late spring/early summer it has been quite warm and mother nature attempted to bubble up some late afternoon shows and thunderstorms for us. Unfortunately we did not get any rain, the storms fizzled before they got here. On the flip side waiting around for the rain to start, I was wandering around outside looking for some interesting images to capture, some wildlife to suddenly appear, anything so I could press the shutter button. After a few minutes I looked back over to the western sky and noticed the clouds were thinning some and slowly but surely the red was starting to appear on the horizon. Back to wandering I went, and a few minutes later the wonder of clouds at sunset started to paint the sky with reds and pinks. So sometimes you just need to be patient and wait for Mother Nature to work her magic.

Well it was one of those mornings when the mind just decided it would be up before the sunrise and dragged the body along with it. Not all bad, even though it was ridiculously early, it was getting close enough to sunrise that I could see some clouds and they were starting to reflect light. Yep, since I was already up, might as well take the camera outside and see what materialized. Have to say, mother nature did not disappoint. Last night I was thinking about some ways to get myself motivated and invest more time "creating" with the cameras. It seems that I have been letting Life take over and not doing as much as I used to. Really strange since many people turned to things like making time lapse videos at home when the pandemic was in full swing. I, on the other hand, was one of those lucky people that just landed a new job (in healthcare no less) and never missed a day of work. In fact, at times, work was crazy busy and after getting all the house and outside work done I just wasn't motivated to use the cameras. May 2023 has not been much different, but I'm making more time for the cameras and thinking of ways to keep myself motivated. One of the best ways I keep myself motivated to find something about my photography that needs improvement and finding ways to work on that. Using the GoPro cameras are not terribly difficult or technical, but learning how to maximize their capability and using them enough to know which settings work best for each scenario is a little more challenging. Lucky for me, this morning I woke up early and could not fall back to sleep so I decided to get one of the GoPros out, play with the time lapse settings and headed outside to find a place to set it up. I hope you enjoy this time lapse video of the sunrise. https://youtu.be/rTY8LUDxpjU |
