Early Morning Light


OK, I have to admit that the early morning light is a good time to take photos but I still hate to get up early!

I took this photo about 6:30 a.m. this morning as the sun was coming up over the horizon. The windmill is normally an old rusted color (mainly because it's old and rusted) but the early morning light gave it a nice bright orange tone like it was a new windmill.

  1. The sky and the windmill inspires me to start out a bit earlier, too, for a photo shoot.

  2. Nice capture. The color of the spinning blades reminds me of a peppermint candy!

  3. 6:30, what's up with that? I know the early bird gets the worm and all that, but honestly who wants worms! LOL

    Nice find and capture! I've always been fascinated by these old windmills. The fact that it is still operating after who knows how many years is a testament to it's sturdy construction. Is this also on the property where you are?

    1. Paul,

      The windmill is located about 20 feet behind the main house. That's the only reason I got a photo of it this morning, all I had to do is step out into the back yard with the tripod. LOL

  5. 6:30am, and using a tripod! This is not Ron that I know. LOL
    I like the way you dragging the shutter to create the wheel motion. Good work!
