I will never regret missing this sunrise, because what I got
is this instead. Some of us friends were spending a weekend at the beach in
Outer Banks, NC. I am a sunrise/sunset photography addict. I often have difficulty
waking up for the 9 am class, but not at 6 am to catch the sunrise. The good
thing about living in the west coast is that you can capture glorious sunsets
without having to worry about your alarm clock not going off.
My
roommate and I decided that we should wake up early on a Sunday morning and
experience the sun coming up from the Atlantic. As luck would have it, it had
rained the previous night, and there was still a thick cover of cloud where the
sun would rise. Roommate strolled off to take a long walk by the beach, but being
the sedentary person that I am, I stayed there with my camera gear and a book,
hopeful that the sun will peak out from the cloud cover at some point of time. It
did not, until it was way up in the sky. So I spotted random things like crabs,
birds, and dogs, and started to take pictures of them. That was when I saw this
bird flying by, casting a silhouette against the diffused and golden rays of
the sun. Boy, I am glad I lived to take a picture of this.
