It has been a long time since I have set the alarm early for a sunrise shoot, but with the Easter long weekend offering plenty of sleep ins, I decided to use one up and set the alarm for 4am.
I had organised with a friend to head out together, so I knew I couldn’t just turn the alarm off.

I had gone for a drive the day before to scope out a few good locations, and headed towards Dookie and the foot of Mt Major.
Once set up, we had about an hour before sunrise, so I took a few star trails and long shutter speed moonlight shots.

Once the sun started to come up, we realised that the fog was starting to roll in, and it looked spectacular.
Once the sun was up, we went for a drive to see what else we could shoot, while the light was still soft and warm.
After all that, I got home about 8am and felt like I had achieved a days work before breakfast.
