Early Morning

 



No.  I did not die. 
No.  I did not contract a life-threading disease—unless you count laziness as a life-threading disease.  
I just had no desire to post anything. 
A couple weeks ago, I had a job west of Houston.  As is my habit, I left well before sunrise so that I would not be late.  Looking through my rear view mirror.  I saw the sun coming-up in a clear sky.  Since I had my Nikon 80-400mm lens packed in my bag, I decided to stop and try to get one of those classical sun-rising shots. 
Enjoy. 
Camera settings:  Nikon D800 with white balance set to 10,000K on a tripod, 80-400mm f/4.5~5.6 lens at 400mm, ISO 100, f/5.6 at 1/750th of a second on a tripod. 
Post Processing: 
Lightroom 5—applied Nikon vivid preset, set white and black points, added vibrance and clarity.
