Few things more painful than having to crawl out of bed at dawn on a cold Sunday to go to work... as I stumbled out of my room to go feed the dog, cursing my very existence, I glanced out the LR windows and saw: incredible beauty. The reds were just amazing: these pix cannot quite convey it. And there is a certain shade of blue, not quite captuered here, but definitely my favorite shade of blue... just wish I could've sat there and watched it all unfold. And I did wait a bit, hoping to catch an arriving plane in silhouette against this stunning bacdrop, but... all was quiet at KEWR. Even the freight dogs were sleeping...

But of course, this mix of clouds was a harbinger of some foul weather...

"Red sky in the morning..."

Sailors take warning.

Incredible shots, Rotty. We had that same stuff here too.

Aye... pilots, too!

No way, that was my own special personal sunrise...

Beautiful shots!!!

  That first one is my favorite.  With the buildings, streetlights and trains and then the sunrise it just all comes together to make that shot awesome!!

Thanks. What i really like about it is that it came out pretty well considering it was shot thru 1/2" of plexiglass... with the lens right up on it, and little  direct light on the window, it's not too bad.

I'll have to put up a few from here at New River. The one thing I always enjoyed about working nights were the spectacular sun-sets we get...right over the field, its real surreal when you get an AH-1 coming in on the approach to 23, crosses right in front of the setting sun...absolutly beautiful.

Wooooow!  ::)

Amazing view...

I believe I detect a note of sarcasm ("roll eyes" emoticon)...  you were perhaps expecting pictures of airplanes...?

Sorry dude. Governer Corzine decided that Newark and Bloomsbury share sunrises.

Sorry.

I have a Kodak DX7590; got a super deal on it as it was a (virtually untouched) floor model. Was leery of buying a Kodak (their cameras have sucked since they stopped making the Brownie), but it has nice German optics (Schneider-Kreuznach). 7x optical zoom and up to 10x if you go digital. The digital zoom is pretty disappointing, but I've learned to work with 7x. It shoots at up to 5 MP, and also does pretty good video (something I haven't experimented much with so far).
 Eventually I'm gonna get a UV filter, wide-angle lens and maybe a more powerful zoom or telephoto lens for it.
