Hello, I was going to visit Simons site but noticed its pretty much inactive, same goes for the flickr page. I also read an unfortunate article about a person with the same name. Is this young man still alive?

Thanks for the tips. I have never tried to take a photograph early. So much to learn. Well I must say that I am a beginner at taking photos. I must say that I have learnt a lot form this site. Thank you!

Personally, I prefer sunsets, not only because sunrise is soo early but also because I really love sunset colors. Here is one of my sunset shots to explain why I just love the colors:

I let my meter do the work for me, but I have to trick it a bit. Most cameras will lock exposure and focus when you half-press the shutter, letting you re-compose the picture before the actual exposure. If I want to feature detail in the landscape or higher clouds I meter on that part of the image, then compose and expose. If the actual colours of the sunlit clouds are the main subject, I’ll often meter directly on them. if the sun is actually up and in the frame, I always meter away from it.

Sunrises don’t move particularly fast, so you usually have a chance to preview your shot and make adjustments. If there is a moving subject involved, take test exposures beforehand if possible.

As a beginner, I find it difficult to get the correct exposures or selecting the correct aperture – shutter speed settings. Any tips on where to start?

Hey, trouble with 5am? The sun rises in winter too, you know…depending on your part of the world at 8 or 9am! And a sunrise over a beautiful snowy landscape, or cold winter mists rising off the water….
