Morning light
This morning, I got up at 5:00 to join a few other photographers trying to catch the morning light near the opera house. I was reminded of two things that I already knew. First, that it is much more natural for me to still be up at 5 (although my current life doesn’t often let me actually be so) than it is to get up at that time. Second, that even with the amazing light that I admit can be had that early in the morning, I’m just not really into landscapes, buildings and other static objects. It was less than half way through the session when my attention started drifting and I was ready to pack down my camera while the others just swapped lenses a second time and got ready to photograph the same scenery once more. At a similar meetup for evening shots along the Thames in London when we still lived there, the result was exactly the same. That time I even think I packed my camera down and just observed the others after the first two hours.
