First Light
Not only is autumn usually the best time of year to capture awesome sunrises, but with the sunrise happening later each day, it's easier to do. If you tried to get this image in August, you might have to be awake by 5:00 a.m. and in your favorite photo spot by 5:45 a.m. I've missed some great images by not being in the right place before 6:00 a.m. In the fall you can often be in your spot by 7:00 a.m. and still be there in time for first light.
