I took this photo the first time that I had ventured to Adler Planetarium to see the sun rise and take some photos. I had seen the sun come up maybe a couple times before while on Lake Shore early in the morning. However, there is just no substitute for being there. I was there maybe an hour before the sun came up, and was just in awe at the colors and hues that fill the sky as the sunset gets closer. Being late fall the temp at this time was around 38 degrees give or take. It is interesting that the winds can be completely calm at the time leading up to the sunrise, and then the wind comes in and wow will your face feel the wind burn later! The funny thing was that I was so overwhelmed with trying to get some good photos. This being my first time there, I had not explored the beach yet so I was just at the wall, which is absolutely beautiful but does not offer much in respect to foreground. The birds were everywhere that morning and the sun coming up adds a nice backlight creating interesting silhouettes. A slower shutter speed allowed me to capture a nice little blur from the flutter of the lower bird's wings. I fell in love with that area that morning and now I just cannot get enough of it...
