The sunrise view outside my office window has been spectacular almost every day this week. I don’t usually have much luck capturing sunrises with my camera because there is deceptively little light. In this case I used a primitive setup – I flipped a trash can over to use as a tripod and set the camera on self-timer to minimize vibration. The exposure times were between 1/25 and 1/2 of a second and required about 2 dozen tries before I could get an image that captured enough light and color.
Beautiful picture!
Thanks Holly!

You are very welcome. What kind of camera do you use?
Holly, I have been using a Samsung NV24HD. It is a small camera but it has a focal length that is the equivalent of a 24mm wide-angle lens on a 35mm camera. Thanks, Chris
Nice shot Chris! Way to go with the trash can flip. Al.
