<\/a><\/p>\nIn any case, people are not why I’m here, so let’s try to get some photos.<\/p>\n
Why sunrise? There is a concept in photography called the Golden Hour (or the Magic Hour) – it states that at sunrise and sunset, the colors given out by the sun are warmer and with a shade of red \/ pink. Why? The angle of the sun relative to the Earth (very low) means that light travels more through the atmosphere (therefore, the light scatters more so you have indirect light). The atmosphere filters out the blue color, resulting in more red. At noon, the reverse is true – the rays of the sun travel at a straight angle and therefore, there is less scattering and more blue sky.<\/p>\n So we have Seattle, in an orange \/ pink \/ red “shirt”, with Rainier barely visible in the background.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The morning dew and fog helps at this time as well, as you can see below (this is fog on top of Lake Washington, looking towards Bellevue and the Cascades).<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The city is mostly sound asleep, so no background noise, just the lonely buildings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And why golden? Look below.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And now with a broader view towards the Cascades and East Side.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Slowly, but surely – the sun starts rising, the orange starts fading and turning to just yellow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Good morning, happy people, the first rays of light hit an apartment building. We can also see the Ferry’s wheel and the Centurylink field in the background and KeyArena in the lower left<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The first rays of light start hitting places close to us as well.<\/p>\n Once the sun is out, the pictures start looking more and more bland, so decided to head back home. On the way back, I stopped by this blueberry farm – where the fog was playing a cool game.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a>
