🇭🇰 📷 Black Dog on a Hong Kong Sunrise - Animal/Landscape Photography 📷 🇭🇰

Wicked Wednesday Steemians Worldwide!



I snapped this shot a few weeks ago early morning here in Hong Kong after waking up crazy early to watch some Champions League Football. Instead of going back to bed I decided to grab my gear and go for an early morning hike up the mountain behind the building where I live, hoping for some decent sunrise snaps.

As you can imagine, it was a pretty dismal morning and remained dark until all of a sudden the blessed rays of the Sun pierced the clouds. 

I couldn't be bothered to lug my tripod up the mountain so was shooting hand-held and managed to get a few decent shots, primarily of the landscape itself.

But just as I was leaving to trek back down this random dog appeared out of nowhere, checking me out from atop a rock.

Needless to say, I got a few snaps in, but as I was edging closer, the dog got the creeps and scampered away.

I'm happy there was enough light to keep my ISO down to provide a nice crisp image.

Hi @steemmeupscotty

Good to see you posting a bit more, and this is just a brilliant shot - very worthy of getting up early to catch!

Thanks, Asher :) Yeah, as you may have gathered, it's been a mental period but I did get heaps of photography done .. something which has become a new obsession and one which I've immersed myself in deeply over the last few months, as it provided a healing outlet.

It's something strange that trying times can provide the fuel for new adventures. Steem on! :)

This is absolutely the case! Change is is trying, but once through the worst times there is new opportunity.

Steeeem on!

Daamn! What a landscape. <3

Great photo. It's actually really beautiful. It has a certain element that escapes me, can't really put it into words.
Thanks for sharing Mr. @SteemMeUpScotty!

Cheers @cipriang :) There was a certain element that morning I can't put into words too, but I'll try from my point of view.

Let's just say it was a time of tribulation I was going through .. and maybe, but more hopefully, it kinda translates into the pic.

Fantastic shot, Dog and Sunrise for me a perfect combination! :-)

Great photo... very mystical!
Reminds me of this movie:

Thanks .. I'll have to check out that movie for sure 👍

Very nice of him to present for modelling duties. This is a wonderful shot. That sky ❤

Thanks 🙏 He certainly did add something extra to this pic :)
