Since I’ve been told that sunrise and sunsets are amongst the best times (due to ideal lighting conditions) to flex one’s photography muscles, I decided to give it a try one morning. See bottom of post for some references on light conditions during sunrise and sunset.
As the sun grew brighter, it allowed for varying amounts of natural light to experiment with. I was able to capture a wide variety of images, taking photographs facing towards the sunlight as well as in perpendicular and opposite directions to the light source.

During this time we (my kids came along) intruded, albeit with great care, on some quintessentially Canadian ‘early birds’. Here’s one of them on its daily (I’m assuming) walks around the neighborhood. He did seem to take his regimen seriously.

Taking the family along to catch the sunrise was an added bonus…our collective memories captured on digital canvas.

Our family enjoys nature walks and summers a great time to indulge. Turns out that having a hobby like photography helps you relish these moments even more because one tends to look at most mundane things as a photo-op. This is a fence demarcating a private property from the sprawling wilderness of the nature park we were visiting.
