I’ve photographed this wellhead before, but never at sunrise. Last Saturday I got up at 5am for some reason, hopped in the truck with my cameras, and started out in search of photographic adventure. I found it.

Sunrise and sunset provide the most amazing opportunities for photos because of the unique light they provide. Sunset is a lot easier, of course. Sunsets in the winter often happen before I’m off work, and winter sunrises occur after I’ve already arrived at work. Summer sunrises? Well, they’re just plain early. You’ve got to get up to catch ’em, and that isn’t always easy.

I must say, after the results of Saturday’s outing, that it sure pays off.
