I’d been looking for sunrises at this location in New York on several earlier occasions. Nothing had worked. Pre-dawn on Oct. 8, I set up a tripod with a very simple camera (a Nikon Coolpix S8200, jpeg only, no manual settings other than lighter/darker and ISO). As first light came clouds showed as I’d hoped, flushed with pinks and purples.  A half hour later, the warming glow of a sunrise-in-waiting evolved, and in the meantime 14 Canada Geese had arrived, and were lazily cruising the waters in front of the camera. I wasn’t always standing at the tripod, but wandering a bit in the area, watching for changes in light that warranted the next shot.  But I was there, finger at the shutter release button, as the sun peaked over the hills with clouds and mist,  and the geese decided to take fight directly toward me.  With the camera set on single shot, I was able to grab only one photo, the one at right, that adequately caught the action. I hope you like it. I do, still, 10 years later.
