LENS CAPTURE

Vol. 3 No. 9


After scouting out the best photo locations along the 13 mile scenic drive earlier the day before, I ventured back to Red Rock Canyon for sunrise.  With a 1 hour drive to reach my destination, I started out at 4:00 AM to catch the Sun cresting the eastern mountain range around 5:25 AM.  The temperature at that point had only hit 52°F at the Calico Basin, so a hooded sweatshirt was a definite requirement.  During my 2½ hour visit on this particular morning, the temperature rose more than 25 degrees. 


Was it worth it?  You be the judge.
