¶This is one of the first sunrises I ever photographed. Sunsets have always been a favorite subject of mine, but I never really had the chance to capture a sunrise. A trip to Maine in 2013 changed all of that. We travelled from Boston up into Maine and, once in Rockport, stayed at a golf resort even though we weren't golfing. Our room had an amazing view over Penobscot Bay in the Gulf of Maine. I captured this photo from the tiny balcony off of that room, so there was no pre-sunrise travel involved. I just set everything the night before, then woke up, rolled out of bed, went to the balcony, composed, and started shooting.
¶The trickiest part of the whole thing was making sure I didn't wake my wife and kids in the process.
¶This photo, and the experience behind it, remains one of my all time favorite sunrises. I learned that day, and remember to this day, there really is nothing like watching a sunrise over the eastern shore. Truly breathtaking, and this photograph nearly captures that feeling.
