Not every morning gets to start on the water, but we still had some nice sunrises in Houston last week.

One thing you can’t do from a boat is long exposure photography — at least not if you don’t want everything blurred. I was in the office extra early for a conference call, so I was able to snap this 8 second exposure of the morning commuters on I-10 heading to work just as the sun was coming up behind the Houston skyline with the 90mm Elmarit from the window at the end of my hall.

After the call I couldn’t resist taking one more photo of the downtown Houston skyline with the 135mm Elmarit.

By the way, today is Mary’s birthday, so HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HONEY!
