Joggers in Morning Light

    I woke up at 6am this morning, had a cup of tea, a bowl of muesli, and went out with my camera. The sunrise through the mist makes for beautiful light. I ran after these two to capture them running through the light. Good job I can run fast these days! I caught them up, even with my camera in one hand and tripod in the other.

    The mist is coming from the river and the canal. The mist pours off the river in the early morning. Very beautiful!

    For those of you who know Exeter, they're jogging under the motorway bridge near Topsham.

    This shot is all about 200mm. The beautiful warm light was in quite a small area, but by zooming to 200mm it looks all-pervasive. Good job I had the 70-200mm on!

      Just wonderful! It's always worthwhile to get up early for this kind of light...I'd bet it wasn't nearly as warm as it looks!
