Using two alarms makes perfect sense! When shooting landscapes, sunrise begins in the dark and often ends once the sun is just over the horizon as those gorgeous side-lighting effects are so clear. I was shooting a famous river one morning--starting in the absolute dark--shot for almost an hour, and was packing up, when a bus filled with about 40 tourists arrived to "shoot sunrise." They missed what I consider the best moments of the morning. Greetings from Nebraska!Hallo Bill, thank you very much for your kind reply. Focusing manually was the one step that put my macro photography on the next level. For me, the most important piece of Equipment is apart from my normal gear, my alarmclock
Have a nice weekend, greetings from Germany
I especially like the early morning hours because of the overall mood and solitude. Macro and landscape photography help me to calm down and relax, like an active kind of meditation. The pictures are a nice bonus
In Germany, it is late evening. Have a nice weekend
