The mission - to capture some early sunrise photo of downtown Houston.
Time - Saturday morning, 5:30am.
Weapon of choice - breakfast + strong coffee + outdated DSLR with kit lens (EF-S 18-55mm IS)
Outcome - failure, kind of. The sun was blocked by some nasty cloud.
Solution - try it again some other time.
The good thing was that we bumped into "Susan G. Komen Race For The Cure" annual run and captured some photos there, which I will post later.
Hopefully I can get back into blogging and photography more often.
This one is captured before sunrise. The color of the sky was gray which makes the photos kind of bleh...so I desaturated it.
Another captured before sunrise but I use HDR (High Dynamic Range) processing to make it pop. Yes? No?
I went back to the same spot at 6pm for another shot. The sky is still gray but this time, with rain. So I took a few shot and left. Just not a day for photography.

Hmmm, for me, I prefer the last one at 6pm,like a postcard. Suggest you check weather forecast before you go for next time, hehehe..

Sonia - It's not hard to be the first to comment on my blog, hahaha...glad that you enjoyed it! Yup yup, will trust the weather forecast next time.
Bakeling - Actually I did check the weather but I was hoping the forecast was wrong like 75% of the time.
jdexign - Thanks man! Glad that you like it. HDR is not everybody cup of tea, I know a lot of people who don't like it.
温馨小屋 - Thank you! You're right, weather will definitely affect photographer mood.
