Annapolis

5:00 AM comes early for me. I am by no means an early person. But I wanted to get out early and try to shoot a sunrise in Annapolis and that I did. Even though it isn't a great sunrise photo and it wasn't going to happen that day. The sun was going to blow out the scene very early this day So i salvaged what I could from what I did shoot. In the photo you can see the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and the towers that loom over the defunct David Taylor Research Center. Maybe next time I'll get a really nice sunrise but maybe I'll just take a trip closer to the ocean for it.


I walked along the main street trying to salvage the rest of the day pondering what I should shoot. The water was starting to move about a bit more than when I first arrived in Annapolis. But it was still enough for the photo above. I really like the angles here. The reflections of the masts in the water instead of above like something normally seen. This was shot facing north were the sun has yet to saturate the scene. I actually stood there for about ten minutes just watching the reflected masts change its vertical shape, flowing in and out, drawing me in the direction of the current. I'm sure someone looked at me nodding my head as if I were agreeing to some one or as if I lost it. Might could have this early in the AM...

Walking along the Eastport draw bridge I stoped to look at the sailboats moored in the creek and there was a shot I could not pass up. The moon was setting as the sun was rising, and the angles were just right as well. The golden hour had just begun during the time I was starring and nodding at water on the other side of the bridge. So by the time I had ventured to this side the beautiful golden hue was blanketing the entire area. The moon is more visible in the larger photo. Which will be up on my website in the next couple of days.

Hope you've enjoyed my little sunrise trip to Annapolis as I did walking it.
