I Blame Yosemite

[dragon300zx]

At yosemite yall woke up early to get good light to shoot photographs. I am not a morning person at all as some of you may remember. But thanks you to guys I find myself being willing to do crazy things like wake up at 4 am two days in a row on a weekend to go and shoot hot air balloons landing at sunrise. Is this a normal persons actions no. No it is not. Argh what have I turned into. :twitch:twitch:twitch

Is anyone else other than those of us who were in yosemite actually willing to loose sleep to get good photos?

Hahahaha, that is what sunset was invented for hehehehe.

Seriously, I hate mornings just like you. Only in extreme situations (e.g. Yosemite) do I ever get myself up that early.

LOL Gary :rofl

I remember you not wanting to answer those early morning wake up calls. I hated it too. But as you point out, if you want that sweet light you have to sacrifice :rolleyes And whoever told you that photographers were normal? :lol3

Where are those balloon shots? That's one thing I've always wanted to shoot (lots of balloons) and wouldn't mind the 4AM wake up to do it :thumb

Steve I am covering the Michigan Challenge Balloon Fest this weekend for a hot air ballooning magazine. The it is off to the Mudfest next weekend for the extreme motor sports magazine. Next weekend is gonna be even worse. I am going to camp onsite instead of going to a hotel so I can get photographs of the whole event even some of the night stuff. :scratch:wxwax:huh Have I mentioned I've never been camping.
