It was still quite dark when the sun first peaked over the horizon. The low tide at Beach #5 provides stunning sand patterns and reflection pools, sure to please any landscape photographer.
I'm so thankful that I woke up in time to see this sunrise! I almost overslept, as our cottages at Symphony Palms do not have alarm clocks and my cell phone was totally dead. I woke up just about every hour on the hour to check my watch and see if it's time for sunrise yet. Then I finally woke up at 7:25 when I should have woken up at 7:00! So I grabbed my bag and tripod and ran over to the beach in under a minute. I got the tripod set up quick but then the remotes started acting up. I had to ditch one remote and grab another from the bag with fresher batteries. Everything worked. I started firing shots about 10 minutes before the sun crossed the horizon. It was hectic, but amazing.
Look close and you'll see the sun on the horizon. The full resolution version is available here:
