Nice! I really liked the time lapse images of the river and the bridge. The old barges and the morning colors along with the bridge make for great composition, too. And I certainly appreciate the solitude of the morning. But 0400 in the morning? I'm retired, no thanks, I live at much lower latitude.
Your title is a loaded question. I have a hard time pulling myself out of bed, however the results are often worth it when I do manage to get up. You managed to get some nice color, which is always a bonus.
Cracking photographs Ben. I have say I prefer the morning light even for black and white photographs. As you say it’s well worth the effort of getting up early just to have the place to yourself. Nice one mate 👍
Thanks Garry, yeah it’s been difficult to get out recently with other projects I’m working on taking up a lot of my time. Thanks again mate and all the best. 👍
Hi Ben I was away with a few friends last weekend and we agreed to set the alarms for 4am to hopefully capture the sunrise at 5am. We got up but there was no sunrise (well not visually) I love early mornings as it is the best time of the day being so quiet but if you then plan to get the sunset on the same day that's a long time to wait and in the summer months it usually means harsh lighting for most of it plus you're knackered the following day. Having said that I'm heading to The Roaches tonight in the camper to get sunset then sunrise in the morning so limited sleep in between but at least I'll have rested
Oh lovely, I hope you manage to get something from your trip. It’s always a risk and it doesn’t matter how much research you do with all the Apps, the slightest movement from the clouds and a sunrise or sunset can be ruined, but that’s the risk and the chase, I think that’s why we do it, yeah disappointing when we don’t get it but so exciting when we do. All the best mate. 👍
@@BenMcDonaldPhotography well there was no sunset at The Roaches 🙄 but I managed to get some feint Noctilucent Clouds this morning unfortunately I was a bit late. Should've set the alarm for 2am to check. Even though I was in my camper and it would have meant me looking out of the window 🤣
Sunrise is the most perfect time of day! Some beautiful images there xxx
Thank you so much honey xxx
Splendid images, really worth the early get up. Lovely to see you back on CZcams, far too long since we've last seen you.
Thank you so much, as always really appreciated. 👍

Thank you so much Bill. Yeah the joy of summer sunrise! It's such more pleasant in the winter months.
Awesome images Ben and superbly edited too. Just wish I could drag myself out of bed at that hour📷👏👏
Thank you so much, really appreciated. 👍
Loved it. Must get up early and do this.
It’s generally always worth it. Thank you so much John. 👍
This video is much better than the monopod one, it addresses the question right from the get go. The answer is a resounding yes. Nice pictures.

Yeah they can be, it’s always a struggle but generally worth it, even just for the fresh air and alone time. Thank you so much Craig. 👍
Very early indeed!! But worth it. Great video Ben.
Thank you so much Nigel, yeah always hard forcing myself out at that time. 👍
Fantastic video really makes me want to set my alarm for the mornign and get out there... maybe not at 04:00 though. Great pics and well put together.
Thank you so much Adam, haha yeah I don’t blame you, it will soon be winter again and a little easier. Thanks again mate and all the best.

Thank you so much Neil, as always really appreciated. 👍 Yeah that is a major bonus of getting up early.
Glad to see you back on here Ben. Short and sweet but well worth the wait. Great images 👍
Thanks Garry, yeah it’s been difficult to get out recently with other projects I’m working on taking up a lot of my time. Thanks again mate and all the best. 👍
Fantastic video and still shots, I was at that exact spot last Sunday with my dad and lad. flying my drone. Nothing serious,
Thank you so much mate. Yeah it’s a brill spot.
Hope things are going well out of the Stobart world?
