Looking at this set of sunrises, I’m reminded just how little I got out to new destinations in 2020. Shiras Park, Shiras Park, Shiras Park, McCarty’s Cove, Presque Isle, and repeat.It’s not as though anything else was going on in 2020 that was taking my energy though, right?
You may also think, looking at this set, “Wow, what a gloomy experience!” It’s easy to think that looking at most of the 2020 sunrises that have been published to date.
Allow me to explain. Gloomy days, generally, mean fewer photos taken. Especially during downpours like March 29 and July 22. Fewer photos means fewer photos to dwindle, which means a whole lot faster to edit. So I’ve been cheating. In Lightroom, I’ll check for dates unpublished, and see which dates have the fewest photos taken.
So far, this has worked great to make solid progress, but what it means, is the most inspired mornings all remain. Those are the days I have dozens of photos to edit, or simply, a lot to say about the day.
