Day 82 - Sunrise

When I first got to The Pas and went for 2 days without sleep (good jetlag), I noticed that the sunrise and early morning light was quite interesting. Stupid me thought 'oh, I'll get photos another day'. The 'problem' with this and being this far north when the days are really long, you have to get up really early in the morning to take photos.

Now those who know me know I'm not a morning person. So getting up this morning at 0600 am seemed like torture when I am voluntarily doing it (if I have to get up to catch a plane, whole different story). The light and the colours this morning was pretty amazing! I was even fortunate enough to have an interesting cloud pattern.



Naturally when I have a fantastic sunrise, in the opposite direction, I have a brilliant moon setting. Thus torn between what photo to take as getting into position was difficult (walking through snow that is above your knees is difficult and hard work).

I've also never been able to take a decent moon shot, even the ones last night were ordinary. But I've persisted and played around with camera settings and think I'm starting to get it sorted out. So here is one of the 1st half decent moon photos I've taken.



Always playing around and this shot turned out interesting - thought I better put one in otherwise people might not believe that I got up that early. Good thing about snow and ice, can be quite useful to make a temporary tripod in the middle of nowhere.
