With daylight savings starting today in NSW, it was a great chance to hit the road for some sunrise shooting. Everyday is a great day for a sunrise shoot but today has a little bit extra to it.
I still get confused weather we gain sleep or lose sleep in the changeover from daylight savings times. And I’m still not too sure why we do it.
But as of this morning at 2:00am the clock instantly turned into 3:00am.
So when I woke up this morning at 5:30am, it was really 4:30am? Confusing yes.
So we lost an hour of sleep this time.
But in April we gain an hour back, so I guess it all works out in the end.
But one thing I do know is a couple of days ago I shot a sunrise picture and that was around 5:30am and today’s sunrise picture was at around 6:30am.
Only a few weeks ago to get a sunrise picture I often had to set the alarm for 4:30am. So I guess the good news is I can set the alarm a little later and still get some sunrise photography in.
As always I’m sure different people will have their own views on daylight savings and if it suits them or not. And I’m not sure yet if it’s good or bad myself.
In the meantime once we settle into the new time zone, I’ll enjoy setting the alarm a little bit later than normal and getting a few extra zzz’s before hitting the streets for some awesome sunrise shooting.
Til next time!
Chris
