Up at 3 am as the sunrise was supposed to be after 4 am and there was a walk of around 50 min , for me anyway and i couldn`t really remember the exact way there , especially walking with a head torch and clear starry sky.
Finally arrived at the place only to find out that the ground was completely covered with dampness , so much so that there was no dry place to lay the camera bag.
You can actually see the dew drops in the fg.
The first light and after setting the tripod for the wanted composition (which changed to accommodate the sun`s position), wasn`t very promising , so much for getting up early i thought , just an average sunrise with no much going on.
How little did i know , as soon as the sun started coming up from behind the mountains , the whole area started being covered with a fine mist rising from the wet ground as the sun warmed up the surface of the earth and turned the green grass into a orange/red glow.
Now it was my turn , you cann`t imagine the excitement , like a kid in a kandy store , grabbed a few shots while the whole experience lasted and i must say that it was very short lived , talking about being one with nature eh ???
I hope you enjoy the experience as much as i did.
