This morning was 3:40am wakeup and shuttle ride up to Moraine Lake to shoot Blue Hour and Sunrise. First photo capture 4:35am. “f/8 and be there”

Sunrise on the mountains.

Snow-capped mountains are reflected in a calm lake surrounded by dense green forests under a dramatic sky.

The 4:15a alarm this morning to go shoot sunrise is reminding me of a saying I first heard from my friend Layne Kennedy:
