Photo Of The Day – Day 46

For today I have a shot that I took very early in the morning this past weekend. I had gotten up at 5:30am to go out and shoot the sunrise at the lake. The sun didn’t come up until after 6:30am and I had to wait for it to clear the cloud bank on the horizon.

It was cold, cold, cold! I had to hold my breath while taking the shots as my breath was clouding up the photos. I think the result was worth the wait and the cold. I took several shots using the cat tails along the shore to frame the rising sun. My favorite part of this photo is the flare around the sun. I like how it distorts the shape of the sun.

47mm, ISO 100, f/16 for 1/800 sec.
