Daytona Beach sunrises seem to captivate people. When it’s a beautiful sunrise everyone stops in their tracks, mouths drop, heads swerve as they gaze into the burning incandescence – somewhat like capturing a deer in your headlights.

The sunlight reflections on the ocean wet sands can be very striking. You never know what cloud composition will be in the wild blu yonder from day to day. Sometimes there will be massive thunderheads, other times puffs of clouds. No matter what nature provides, when the sun is rising you will experience an surprising light show.

By capturing plenty of photographs from different views and angles in that sudden half hour or so, clouds may be moving and the sun will suddenly be rising over the horizon, so the colors and combination of light will vary. So don’t just be satisfied with few photographs, take many. You may be capturing the best creative photographs you’ve ever taken!

The best thing about Daytona Beach sunrises is that the skies are never the same from one day to another, but they are essentially always majestic.
