Thank you. I didn't notice that the horizon wasn't level when I took the shot but thank you for pointing that out. Next time I'll double check that horizon. ?

Nice shot! I live on the other coast and could get sunrise photos, but I'm not keen on getting up at o' dark thirty and driving forty-five minutes to do it. Sunsets fit my operating hours much better

I'm the opposite.
Sunrises fit my hours as I'm usually at work.
When the smokers go outside for a smoke break, I go and take a Spark break.

I did that for 38 years. One of the bennies of retirement is not having to get up well before sunrise...unless I have a reason to.

LOLOL I B Spectre, I was up on the east coast in February and I did get up to see the sunrise but...took pictures with my phone and not my Spark ?I'm the opposite.

Great picture! What is sunset at now these days? 5 p.m.? This time change is killing us, but making for some fantastic sunset photos.

Sunset with this time change is about 530pm now. Yeah I hate this time change, hope Florida can get it where we stay on DST all year round. ?

Question: why isn't the horizon level? Shouldn't the Spark automatically level the camera image? Curious...

I had gotten a gimbal overload warning a few minutes before I took that picture so I was bringing it back and when I got it over land I turned it to take the picture before landing it.
I can sympathize. I'm currently on my 42nd year of shift work and wake up every morning at 5am, can't help it anymore. Wonder how long after I retire before I can sleep in.
I actually like the crooked horizon. Really pretty shot.

I worked B-shift (14:00-22:30) for a few years and found I liked it better in some respects to the usual 05:45-14:15. My brother-in-law worked years for a company that had rotating shifts. He'd work A-shift a few days, get a day or two off, go to B-shift for a few days, get a day or two off, then go to C-shift for a few days...over and over again. I don't see how anyone's health could survive that level of circadian disruption. A few years before he retired, the company went to rotating two 12-hour shifts. Fortunately, I never had anything like that. People used to ask me what I was going to do when I retired. My first response was, "sleep late". It took a little while after being used to getting up at 04:00, but it smoothed out and I'm enjoying this phase of life as much as I thought I would. Hope you'll like it too. ?
