Before Dawn

The gaps between day and night, just before sunrise is a uniquely special time. Any one who has risen early for photography, and no doubt anyone reading this has, knows about this time. Otherworldly quiet, absolute peace, you can’t quite put your finger on it, but it feels different to any other time of day.

Its addictive once you’ve experienced it, tough to get up and out but theres never any regret. When the air is still on a foggy morning, all the senses seem heightened, the noises crystal clear, the chatter of birds, perhaps the odd bark of a dog, carried conversations of others enjoying this time. The colours more vivid, the textures of the landscape viewed in more clarity, a wonderful moment.

This collection of images were captured over a series of foggy mornings. Before sunrise, perfectly still.
