Can I get a little sunrise please…

So we (me, my mother with her video camera, and a good friend JP2) decided that we wanted to get up really early and catch the sunrise while at Va beach. So we wake up at 5:30 and walk out onto the upper deck only to be confronted with clouds… And thus we sit and wait and hope that the sun will break through. Unfortunately, that day was not meant to be the day. Still, I was able to capture some nice shots:
After failing with the first morning, we decided to have a go at it the very next morning.
And thankfully the sun came to play:
And just to make up for the absence of sun the previous morning, the pelicans decided to give a perfect shooting opportunity by silhouetting themselves against the sun for us!
Stay tuned for more fun shots of the beach including getting up close and personal with some birds as well as fun with times with low shutter speed photography!!
