I love a challenge and shooting the solstice sunrise in Montenegro, with a 4am start and 2 kids is a good one. Spent a few mornings in the week running up to the solstice doing recon solo and with the family, trying out various locations, trails, timings and angles. Much chocolate bread and tea was consumed, smiles had and memories made. Biggest smile was my own, getting THE shot I hoped for (slide 4).

That wee smile of wonder is worth the 4am start alone š
Montenegro you absolute beaut š«¶
