Just gorgeous, Jeff! An outstanding capture. Well worth the early rising. #6069542Lorraine A. Cook June 17, 2008
The 'calm' before the storm sure put on a BEAUTIFUL show, Jeff!<:))OUTSTANDING sunrise, My Friend!!!
Severe thunderstorms (hail etc.) were predicted for yesterday and last night in Philly....nothing happened. But, a cold front came in...less humidity. I'm guessing the storms missed us (very unusual). Where I live is considered a major area for storm tracks...right around Northeast Philadelphia Airport...close to the Bucks County border. #6069657

Thank You Allen!! Jeff #6402525Dick Jenkins December 19, 2008
Tough exposure to get right Jeff. Nice work here. Do you recall where you spot metered? I've read that another method of shooting sunsets/sunrises is to meter off a newspaper being illuminated by the sun. Then lock the setting, swing round, frame and shoot. Ever tried that? #6914053Jeff Robinson December 20, 2008
Thanks Dick,I usally spot meter off to the side of the sun in one of the warm areas of the sky. Not completely positive on this image but I think that is the case here! Jeff #6916294
Mike F. Anderson June 22, 2012
This is a beautiful sunrise that we don't often see here in Texas. I've seen several similar to this in Oklahoma, but we don't often get these beauties close to the metroplex. One of the advantages and bonuses of being up at dawn with camera ready! #10195720Jeff Robinson June 25, 2012
