Kent, nice view from the stand!

No deer here either.

Kraig, I was thinking of you this morning as I watched the same sunrise. I have a neighbors house directly across from me so it was not quite the same, being above his roof line. But I was sure you took pics and yup sure nuff you posted them, Thanks Ron.
Oh also I had Canadain geese flying over too. They just added to the picture. Merry Christmas all.

great pictures Kraig !
Ill toss up one from a few weeks ago at a home I listed for sale @ $2,239,000. I could wake up to this very easy.

Don, thanks. Wow, that is a nice view! A bit out of my price range though...

Here's a few from this morning:

Had another nice sunrise this morning.

Got a little artsy with this one. That's a Curly Willow silhouetted against the sunrise.

Kraig-
I love the "curly willow" pic!

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, thanks. Curly Willows are interesting trees, very easy to propagate too.

I did not see a sunset thread so instead of starting another I put them here...

Jeff, very nice!

When I started this thread I should have called it "Sunrise/Sunset Photos."

Hmmm, I wonder if Charlie can edit the title?

Charlie?

 

[jbaker]

we will see if Charlies paying attention and can do it,,, he just posted the same thought I had in the main forum.

Another nice sunrise this morning.

I like the new pictures, Kraig. The scenery in so many of the others seemed almost the same, picture after picture, year by year; this one seems fresh, as if it was taken at a different location.

(Just kidding about the scenery, I know you can't change the landscape of your homestead.)

Kraig-
Great pics! It's funny, I saw that sunrise as I was pullin into work this morning and thought, "Oh! I bet Kraig is taking a pic of THIS!"

 

[kmcconaughey]

Art, thanks! Good to know i didn't disappoint you.

I missed a few good shots just before the sun came up. The sky had some great color to it with the cool clouds. I saw it out the window but couldn't get the camera and outside in time.

Jeremiah,

that's EXACTLY why I walked to this area of my yard to take the photos.

Quite a few are taken on my drive into work and I can only stop at a few locations to get good photos and they have to be taken at the proper moment. Timing is everything, well a MAJOR part when taking sunrise/sunset photos. Here's another one from this morning.

Kraig, is the red "halo" in all your pictures today a function of the camera lens, or is it also apparent to the naked eye? I've never seen the effect before.

Just wondering . . .

 

[kmcconaughey]

Jeremiah, I believe that's an artifact from the lens and/or sensor due to aiming directly at the sun. I Didn't notice it when I was watching the sun rise but then I didn't look directly at the sun without the camera either.

Nice sunrise this morning, which was a perfect opportunity for me to try out my NEW CAMERA.

The moon was nice as well. Not bad for a 30x zoom AND hand held.

I need to get this on my tripod and see how it does.

Kraig, nice Pics!

Kraig: The moon shot is awesome! I feel like I can reach out and touch it!
