This is Why I Get Up Before Dawn…
If anyone ever asks me ‘Why do you get up at four in the morning?’ then this is the answer. You simply do not get this quality of light at any other time of day. And if I’m ever short of inspiration or drive, then this video from an amazing photographer called Thomas Heaton is all I need to watch.
This is Stratford upon Avon, just after five on a summers morning. Hardly anybody else about – just me and the swans.

Photography stuff: 12-24mm lens at 12mm, 1/6 sec at f/14, 2 stop hard graduated ND filter to hold back the sky, tripod.
Awesome
Thank you very much

I totaly agree mate. People think I’m crazy for getting up at 4am as well. But I think they are crazy to miss that part of the morning. Nice photo Btw.
At last! I wondered if I was the only one who couldn’t believe people were wasting the best part of the day 🙂
Thank you.
Yes, I see why 🙂 Lovely!!
Thank you Morgan
