Matthew Canino, Firecracker Summer Sunrise (LANDSCAPE 2026)

A firecracker of a sunrise that took me and everyone else by surprise. A scramble to set up the tripod, lens and camera resulted in silhouetted palm trees and a long exposure long enough to create some movement in the clouds above while still retaining the detail in the sunrise.
