The 'calm' before the storm sure put on a BEAUTIFUL show, Jeff!<:))

OUTSTANDING sunrise, My Friend!!!

Severe thunderstorms (hail etc.) were predicted for yesterday and last night in Philly....nothing happened. But, a cold front came in...less humidity. I'm guessing the storms missed us (very unusual). Where I live is considered a major area for storm tracks...right around Northeast Philadelphia Airport...close to the Bucks County border. #6069657

Dick Jenkins December 19, 2008

Tough exposure to get right Jeff. Nice work here. Do you recall where you spot metered? I've read that another method of shooting sunsets/sunrises is to meter off a newspaper being illuminated by the sun. Then lock the setting, swing round, frame and shoot. Ever tried that? #6914053

Jeff Robinson level-deluxe December 20, 2008

Thanks Dick,

I usally spot meter off to the side of the sun in one of the warm areas of the sky. Not completely positive on this image but I think that is the case here! Jeff #6916294

Mike F. Anderson June 22, 2012

This is a beautiful sunrise that we don't often see here in Texas. I've seen several similar to this in Oklahoma, but we don't often get these beauties close to the metroplex. One of the advantages and bonuses of being up at dawn with camera ready! #10195720

Jeff Robinson level-deluxe June 25, 2012

Thank You Mike! Jeff #10199796
