USA Emerald Bay Lookout
Gorgeous spot for sunrise shot. The sun will gradually rise and eventually light up the island in the middle of the Bay. At other times of the year, the sun does not line up with the island. I was lazy on this shot and just pulled over at the lookout point on the side of the highway. Easier than climbing into the hills. As always, clouds make a BIG difference in your end shot.
Photography Tips
Tripod, and ice cleats if here in winter.
