Sunrise Quote by Anne McKinnell

“Remember the day doesn’t start at sunrise. Twilight starts about half an hour or so before sunrise and while it still looks dark the camera will pick up lots of light. If you get there really early you will have the opportunity to make some night shots too!” quote by Anne McKinnell
