Before the sunrise session, a preparation trip was made a day ahead to find the best shooting spot. The small hike to the Crater Lake was nice.

Captured 20 minutes after sunrise on July 12, 2024 (5:52 am), this photo freezes the moment when morning’s warmth began to dance across the landscape, bathing all in golden light.

As morning’s fiery edge ascended, a tapestry of warm hues still danced across the sky, birds bursting into a joyous melody that harmonized with the gentle stirrings of the world awakening from its tranquil slumber. Meanwhile, clouds drifted in, casting an ethereal glow and infusing the scene with an ever-changing kaleidoscope of moods as if the heavens were alive and in flux.
