Sunrise and Bird Song 2023-05-03 (Fairbanks, AK, USA)

This morning I went back to the same spot on the east side of the UAF hill and took some more sunrise photos. This time I did not get as much of that purple twlight effect, owing I think to the clouds being at a lower altitude. But I was still able to get a good number of nice photos from twilight to dawn.

I used the S5300 camera, switching back and forth between dusk/dawn and sunset modes. The dusk/dawn mode seems to put emphasis on the blue spectrum, while sunset mode emphasizes red. I did not do any post-processing on these images.

There was a lot of variety in the bird sounds this morning, so I made a long audio recording.

In summary, it was another pleasant experience enjoying a slice of God's creation in the early morning hours.
