  All these images of this morning’s sunrise were captured by my son Doug as I slept–just one of the advantages, besides more time at the computer for both of us, to our being on different sleep schedules.  It is also nice, his being up in the wee small hours when I get home from my trips to town, since we would see very little of each other if he wasn’t.

  
  

  The first image, above, is full-frame, natural light, uncropped and unmodified, not digitally manipulated at all except resized for this page.  Later shots, as light increased, were washed out and so I altered the brightness and contrast, and did some cropping on some.

  
  

  

  
  

  I’m reasonably comfortable taking such liberties with my kid’s work.  He has never expressed any objections before, and if he sues me, I can always tell the jury that I took it as implied consent that he was using my camera to capture the images.  I feel safe.

  
  

  I also feel gratitude to him and pride in him that he noticed the light, dragged himself away from the keyboard and did such a good job of it.   Never mind that he so offhandedly told me he’d taken them and left it to me to save them to the hard drive.  No prob there.
