Default Not getting the shot you want? You're in good company!

May be you've been there. Check the weather ahead "knowing" that it will be clear. Got up real early before sunrise, woke everyone up in the house, the dogs, wife, kid.... Drove to target destination. Put on as much cloths as possible to keep warm. Hike for a while in the snow. Hungry, cold, sleep deprived. Hope for a great colorful Sunrise. Well.... The sun did not show up this morning. The photo registered so little color I do not have to use gray scale to make it B/W. Here it is!

Maybe you didn't get the sunrise you hoped for, but you have captured a cracking shot anyway - don't be disappointed with it. Besides, there'll be other sunrises... it happens every day.

Well done & TFS
Grumby

In case I missed you before, WELCOME to DPS
A dissappointing experience for sure, but you got a lovely shot out of it anyway.
