Day 4: Winter Sunrise.
I shot this in manual mode. I've long been afraid of experimenting with this setting but I picked up Bryan Peterson's book, Understanding Exposure, yesterday and have started to read it. He convinced/inspired me that I can do this! So since last night and this morning I've just been experimenting with the controls and setting and feel like I'm getting a better understanding of how I'm shooting and why I'm getting the results. This has seriously changed my (photography) life!
Used my 55-300mm for the shot, as I'll likely be using this lens a lot when my husband and I go to Hawaii.
