Reign of Day

I’ve seen a hundred sunrises from atop Haleakala, and they are all amazing. It is, however, a very difficult place to capture a sunrise photo.  The stark contrasts between the intense brights from the sun and the dark darks of the lava rock make it really a tough landscape to give justice to in a camera. Fortunately, though, this one worked out! I was excited to see the rays of the sun passing by the peaks of the crater,  exemplifying the landscape’s treacherous jagged rocks.
