Highpoint View Panoramas-A learning experience
I had the bright idea of going into Farragut Park one morning at the crack of dawn to climb up a mountain I know of to get some shots of the sun rising. When I finally got up there (about an hour later)I realized, "huh, the sun doesn't even rise on this side of the mountain". That's why its important to know your cardinal points. I was a bit of an early bird getting there, too early in fact. I had to wait about 30 min for the light to look how I wanted it. That's why you should know the time of sunrise instead of just guessing. I took a few shots and wanted to find the sun so I moved to the other side of the mountain. It was GREAT over there and the sun was just shining across lake Pend Oreille. I got out my camera, took two shots and my battery went dead. That's why its important to keep your battery warm!

hehe that is cute (and yet a bit sad) that you cant even see the sun rise from that point! i always make impulsive decisions, and last minutedly realise it may have been better to have thought it out, but u get better more unique results in the end, and feel good for going for it! i quite enjoyed the pictures!
