A Good Start to the Day

[AlanLichty]

Yesterday morning I saw what looked like good sky conditions for a colorful sunrise so I grabbed my drone and sent it up for a better view. We had a storm front moving in so there was a big shield of clouds moving in from the west with clear conditions to the east. This was the view with a 70mm lens from about 100' above the ground when I first launched the drone. The leading edge of the wide cloud shield wasn't being lit up by the sun yet but there were some nice colors on the horizon near Mt. Hood and there was a neat layer of fog down near ground level. More to come as I start processing some panorama sequences I shot when the sky got fully lit.

C&C always welcome.

Another beauty!

You're getting so many of these, you could do a book of them! Or a series of books.

Very nice. I like the low fog at the tree top height reflecting the light.

Thanks Michael - wait 'til you see what happened about 10 minutes later when the colors hit the cloud shield overhead

Thanks Jameel - that was what hit me when I started looking around at the view just over the houses and trees. This was taken about 30 seconds into the flight with a color show that lasted for another 20 minutes or so.

Thanks Jim - I love it when the sky cooperates for a colorful start to the day.

Thanks - this was 5 minutes before the Peak Red panorama.
