A few days ago I posted a shot of a sunrise over Occoquan Bay and I remember waiting somewhat impatiently for the sun to rise. Fortunately I took some shots as I was waiting and as I finally went over those shots today, I was happy that they showed some of the beautiful colors as the night finally turned into day.
The sunrise was by no means spectacular—its beauty was more subdued and subtle. You’ll probably notice that the color changes a bit in each of the images. I think that the colors were influenced by the direction in which I was pointing my camera and the amount of light present in the scene.

Very Nice Mike! Beautiful Series! Love seeing Pre-Dawn and Sunrise Photos!
Such a gentle radiance, I love the first photo!
Thanks, Liz. Most of us long for spectacular sunrises and sunsets, but those don’t happen that often where I live. The modest, gentle changes of colors as the days begin, however, can also be beautiful, though I have often found them to be difficult to capture.
