Hitting the road early.

Before getting to bed I checked what the forecast was looking like for this morning, hoping for clear skies...and was rewarded with just that, we'll be up early for some sunrise shots.

My wife and I left the house at 5:20am, got a coffee and bagel, and headed for Gananoque, figuring to find a spot on or near the water west of the Ivy Lea bridge where I sometimes fish.

The fog was thick in some spots. I was quickly filing in my memory bank new spots for future shoots as we drove along. :)

Setting up was simple. Tripod, camera was my T1i, with a 17-85 mounted and pointing east as I composed my shot.

I didn't want the direct sun, but looking for color and reflections. I had only minutes to get what I wanted. We left this spot only minutes later, the sun was high above the horizon as we turned onto the parkway, searching for other opportunities with the early light. Didn't take long!

 Shot taken with a Canon EOS 60D set on Aperture priority using an EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens. The exposure was taken at 400 mm for 1/500 sec at ƒ / 9.5 using digital film with a speed rating of ISO 800.
