Christmas Eve Sunrise (CT Version)

[JonA_CT]

Got out early this morning...still trying to figure out how to use this 15mm lens. It's manual focus, and that's jammin' hard to figure sometimes when it's dark out. Also ignore whatever sensor splatter I missed when processing

I like the whole batch, but for me #4 really stands out.

Agree #4 is the best of a great set. I like that last one a lot too.

Thanks all!

It’s crazy sometimes how much you can doubt yourself. After walking out to this spot in the dark and cold (since the park is officially closed until sunrise, they were unlocking the gate while I was walking out), and waiting for the the colors, I went home unsure if I got anything worthwhile.

It’s just a good reminder to be patient and not judge what you can see on that LCD screen.
