It's the middle of February and although we have been having a very mild winter and we shouldn't really be complaining ... I started to think back to a few years ago when I was in Jamaica at the Riu resort in Negril. Aside from the perfect weather and the gorgeous grounds on the resort, I remember how wonderful it was to walk around with my camera in the morning while everyone else was asleep. The subtle light in the early dawn, the saturated colors, being at the right location, having the right mindset ... all the pieces were falling into place for taking beautiful pictures. Here inside the resort you can see the fabulous colors that the dawn offers. While the ambient lighting is bathed in shades of gold and rose, the sky is a beautiful and calming blue. Strolling along the resort I found that even objects that were otherwise photographically unstriking were transformed in the sunrise. While everyone else was sleeping, there were things happening at this early hour that most were unaware of. Someday I hope to go back to Negril, not so much for the sun and sand, but for the beauty of the dawn.
