Kokopo dawn is playing with me!
2

Started out this morning a bit earlier than yesterday. As I strode long the road to the beach, things looked promising:

I grabbed a couple of sky shots with the GX7+Oly 45mm, and quickened my pace.

But by the time I approached my shooting position a few minutes before actual sunrise, this is what I saw:

See the low cloud. That would have been fine! But that big lump of cumulus in the middle of the picture is exactly where the sun should have been appearing! And the colors -- the first pic was in "Standard" mode, the second in "Vivid", my attempt to milk a bit from a pretty flat scene.

I have feeling the force is not with me! LOL.

Well, I will continue to pursue the ideal dawn pic but I will stop posting my failures. Next time you see "Kokopo dawn" or something similar in the subject line, it will be really worth a look!
