The Borrego photo I posted a couple of days ago was the second best sunrise from our recent trip- this morning in San Diego was definitely the best!
The most dramatic portion of the sunrise was to the right of this scene, and at the time I was disappointed I couldn’t position the dramatic sunrise behind the city. In hindsight, I think it worked out just fine. The sunrise light from outside of the scene bathed the buildings in a beautiful warm glowing light.
Here is a much larger version with the ends cropped of the San Diego Skyline. This panoramic was created with 5 seperate images combined later.

I don’t know why photographers are so fascinated with skylines haha. Just kidding. This is awesome!! Definetely one of the best skyline panos I have ever seen. Was this view from Point Loma?
That’s funny Richard!
I had intended to shoot this morning from Point Loma. I misjudged the time to drive there so so changed plans at the last minute – this was from Coronado.
Nice. I have never been to Coronado, though it sounds intriguing. I may have to do something about that. Looking at it again, it looks as almost as if a sunset would look similar, though the dark water kind of gives it away.
I just set this image on my desktop as a background. I love your photograpy.
Thanks Brenda!

Your work is amazing, Ron (not just this particular one, indeed). I think the fact you actually didn’t get the sun right on the picture makes it more appealing and less kitsch.

Hello, wonderful and informative web site.
Thank you!
Okay, where are all the cranes and I don’t mean birds. Methinks I spent a cloning brush. haha.
Superlative sunrise and the low perspective is right on. Thank you.
oops, that was SMELL not spent. I hate when I click Submit too soon.
Hi Gary,
Those cranes are frustrating, but they are there – you can see them on larger prints, but fortunately this angle hid most of them, at least when this was captured.
Thanks
Ron
