Sunrise Landscape Photography at the Beach is Bliss

I find that sunrise landscape photography to be the most difficult because it requires you to get extremely lucky. You are walking around in complete darkness hoping for great light (not to mention without sleep and coffee), and you're at the mercy of weather app reports that could or could not be correct. Last week while I was at the beach in Florida, I shot sunrise photography and it was sheer bliss. I knew that I was going to enjoy the experience whether or not I got good sunrise color.

If you woke up at 4:15 in Alaska you would have missed the sunrise. You are lucky. ;)

Gotta love our Coastal Dunes Lakes, only a few places in the world have them. I also love the way you stressed staying out of the dunes and sea oats, they’re so fragile. Thanks!

David your respect for the Natural environment is inspiring. You see so many people bashing and crashing through the scenes that they are utilizing for their profit.
I know this is a great big butt kiss just wanted to say thank you for being respectful and looking out for the environment we love to photo and experience.
The more I watch your videos the more I appreciate what you do thanks dude.
Lips un-puckered Hope you enjoyed the kiss LOL

Awesome video buddy.. Great photos & I like how you looked around for more photo opps. I do the same thing, I maybe looking for wildlife but in turn see something like a branch or flower or something that catches my eye. Thing is too, we do think too much, its good & bad, & again sometimes you need to stop, step back & take a break.. Awesome video again Sir!!

Really nice looking morning session, David. You can't beat shooting in shorts and a t-shirt! Thanks for sharing it with us. Images turned great!

I really enjoy your vlogs David. They are informative, clear and honest and it clear you are very passionate about your art 👍

At first I thought you were on the wrong side of Florida for a sunrise image :-) Then I realized you probably had more foreground interest shooting east over the dunes rather than ocean only which you would have had on the east coast of Florida. Anyway, it worked out for you... Thanks for reminding others about the dunes, they are important to us Floridians.

Does anyone have a great weather app that shows the cloud coverage and percent chance of sun/visibility during morning sunrises?
