The hour or so surrounding sunrise is my favorite time to shoot. The light is magical, and sometimes the world makes a truly painterly impression. These photographs of the San Francisco fishing fleet are a great example.
These shots were taken just after sunrise. With the sun low on the horizon, the light is softer, and the colors otherworldly. The pastel hues of these photograph mimic the cotton candy vendor at the county fair. Although these are both HDR shots, I did not intentionally alter the colors and what you see is pretty close to what I remember.
The next time you get a chance, get a cup of coffee, take a stroll at sunrise, and be ready for pleasant surprises.
Have fun and go make some great photography.
