Task - getting up at 5.30am and driving out of the city to find morning views of sunrise in the jungle.

This is the view from a small hill (40 minutes drive) outside Kuching, overlooking tropical rainforest and misty clouds just starting to drift before the sun comes up. In fact, it feels good to be up early morning in the natural jungle, lots of bird sounds and fresh air. This height is guessed about 250m ASL. Even with no clear blue sky or sunrise, the scenery is worth shooting.

We were standing on top of concrete water tanks just constructed on the hill top and hoping to catch morning rays of the sunrise. No it did not show up. As we were waiting and enjoying the fresh air, a farmer down below started to swim and sing in the fish pond and provided us with entertainment. Surprisingly our morning views look as good as Kundasang even though different in many ways. Borneo, evergreen all year round!

Do you ever feel like crossing a threshold of photography where you face a block? I am wondering how to ride another wave of learning curve up in photography and perhaps some good critiques from you?

Hi Bill,
Perfect shot for my theme of misty landscapes, if you don't mind, I'll add this photo to it. Well capture mist among the mountains, nice natural environment. It was worth getting up so early, majestic image! :) TFS.
Best wishes,
Kristof

Hi Bill,

Great picture and great effort to get such a shot! The fog is so thick that at first you think that a cloud. But i see there are clouds in the sky above, and u don't expect clouds as low as 250 m.

I really like the colors and composition. Good lighting, actually its bright for early morning.

I would crop off the top up to the tree on right, but thats my personal choice. The picture looks very good like this.

Hi, Bill. Looks like you are on high ground for this beautiful scene with lush vegetation and mist in the foreground. Ilike the composition and Clarity.

Hi Bill,
I love these morning mist shots. The mist rising over the mountains looks amazing, The image is sharp and I like those green trees against the light blue sky. Getting up early really pays off when you can gwt shot like this one. Nice work.

Kevin

It's interesting that you say you are facing a block, it's seems we started at the same time and funny I'm feeling exactly the same way right now. I'm blaming it on the weather :) in Canada that's what we do....we blame EVERYTHING on the weather :) I like this foggy scene. Fog has a wonderful mood to it. A good capture. TFS

Hi Bill,

Seems like a nice task to give yourself and well worth getting up so early.

You are probably not the only one feeling a block, after being on Tl for quite a period of time I think it's logical. On this picture I can not offer you any critiques that would be helpful, maybe you could explore the world of macro photography, portraits or even B&W - I am trying but it's much more difficult then I thought it would be and certainly not good enough to upload.
Or maybe you should take a bit of a break.

Take care and
TFS

HI Bill
I like how you composed this shot, the tree adding dimensions.
Fantastic scenery shot, the mist is incredible, you can almost feel the humidity coming from it.
