The sun was rising by now so I thought, why not get the sunrise in the background.

That shot is pretty cool. What camera/lenses do you have? I’m picking up the Kiss Digital X (Canon XTi/400D) tomorrow along with the “nifty fifty” prime lens as my first dSLR setup. I plan to get the Tamron 17-50 f/2.8 as my next lens.
Btw, it’s 250VTEC from RS. I’ve stumbled across your blog and SkinnyPupp’s from JohnChow.com…quite weird. Any other bloggers from RS??
