Crater Lake Sunrise

Crater Lake National Park view map

Catching the sunrise over Crater Lake under less-than-ideal conditions.

The wind was biting cold (temp readout from the car was 38 F) and blowing at least 25 knots,
with gusts that had to be approaching 40 knots (strong enough to knock me back a few times)

I shot some video to document that aspect of my brief visit:

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM
tripod, remote cable release, mirror lockup full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

It looks like you managed to deal with the conditions and get a good shot. I feel lazy. I get to look at your picture while sitting comfortably in my home.
