The doubts.

Does the material have enough quality? And if I have negative comments? Am I taking a step far too long? How is it done?

 Then friends come, and family.

Go ahead! What are you looking for?

Finally the decision.

I have nothing to lose. And if I don't try it, I don't know.

Sunrise vs Sunset

It was during my second experience as a photographer, that this question came up.

Yes, I was an amateur photographer, like many, still in the time of analog photography.

I used to spend boxes and boxes of Kodak film that I put on the reels of my old Leica by myself.

I often oxidized the sink drain in my mother's house where, in the late hours of the night, I poured the fixer in the urge to go and see what came out of my work of the day.

Since I had no darkroom, so I used the night darkness for that purpose.

Then other priorities appeared in my life and I gradually left photography, an art that would come back to 4 years ago, now in the digital age.

I have always loved portraiture, but as a result of another Hobby ,I had, hunting, I came to admire the dawn before and during sunrise. Yes, because hunting is far beyond the simple act of killing an animal. It's much more than that.

But returning to the theme, in addition to the portrait, I dedicated myself, as a result of what I wrote before, to landscape photography and within this long exposure photography. I started touring the Portuguese coast with its spectacular cliffs and taking my photos.

For me, Sunrise contains more motive and more sensations than what Sunset expresses. This from a purely personal point of view.

I like the dawn of a new day much more than the disappearance of it. The nautical dawn and the civil dawn periods that precede Sunrise have very good elements to add to a good composition. If the sky shows some clouds, the projections of the first rays of the sun provoke the appearance of several pictures that change very quickly in fantastic tones. On the opposite, Sunset also with enormous possibilities has the problem for me, in my head, that we are walking into an increasingly tight funnel until night falls. On the opposite, it is a new day that lies ahead. This I know is very subjective but it expresses my feeling as a person and photographer.

 * In the next topic I will explain how I take my long exposure photos and what I learn from practice.
