Ten...

 ...years.

That's right - every May third for the last decade, no matter where in the world I've been; I get up early to take photos of the sunrise.
you could almost call that reliable :)




 Moon



 There's always a bunch of people at the mt coot-tha lookout; which has become one of my favorite spots (it's close to home; high; and has the sun rise behind the city)



 almost there...



 you can see the rays...



...there we go - full-on sunlight



Photographers are a wacky-bunch. I'd try to make fun of the guy on the right using his cell-phone when there's a SLR sitting 2 feet to his right (probably shooting time-lapse)... but I had 4 cameras on me this morning, so it feels a little hypocritical...



colours



sillhouettes



lovers-lock? this 'aint a bridge in paris people...



Traffic-copter on the move...



orange-y



all done, heading home for another coffee



soak-up that sun...



random plane



sometimes you aim for one type of photo, and accidentally end up with something much better = I tried to capture the crow, but my camera was still set-up for a slow shutter (I think the photo is quite nice)



May 3rd 2013 - Sunrise.


here's a link to a little video I threw together showing what it takes to get these photos...
