Early Morning Photography

A photographer friend of mine recently did a podcast on why he gets up early to shoot landscape photos.  I completely resonated with this concept for all the same reasons, which lead me to do this post for my take on it.

Almost every year I can get away for a few days to the coast here and I always try to make it to Ruby Beach as early as possible.  Mostly it's so I can shoot wide shots without people in them but the air is cleaner and often there's a lovely fog rolling off.

There's a peacefulness in all this too.  What a gift to have this amazing stretch of wilderness all to myself!! 

In 2018 I got these shots about 8am.
