Cape Spear at Sunrise

On Saturday morning I was up 5 a.m. and drove to Cape Spear with a couple of other photographers to take photographs as the sun was rising. Cape Spear is the most easterly point in North America and to see the sun come up on a glorious morning is really a wonderful experience. Here are a few photos that hopefully will give you some idea of what the experience was like.

Saturday was an absolute fantastic day here in St. John’s. It was the type of day that made all the other bad days seem worth it. I took advantage of the fine weather and went to Cape Spear to try out a new telephoto f2.8 lens that I had just bought.
As luck would have it I meet a young lady from China who was happy to be photographed in return for pictures. You never know your luck when you go around with a camera sporting big lenses :).
I wanted to test my new lens so it worked out for both of us. To view more photos of the young Chinese lady who comes from Guangzhou click on this link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ericbar/

Ocean & Sunset at Cape Spear

Photo taken last Monday evening at Cape Spear.

Beginning and End

I took the first photo looking towards Cape Spear this morning on my way to work . This evening I drove to Cape Spear and took a photo from the opposite direction and looking towards Signal Hill. I think the the two icebergs in each photo are the same.

Quite a contrast in photos though. One taken at the beginning of the day looking in one direction and the other at the end of the day looking in the opposite direction.
