I know that feeling too well... I woke up one morning at 5 am to get a picture with the Christmas lights down town... and I took 2 shots and they switched the power off but most of the time it's worth getting up early
Well normally, during the year it's not THAT hard to wake up early.. you simply have to ... but, please..., in summer when u never even theoretically get to sleep before midnight Aber, es zahlt sich aus xD
no, not really... i'm not uploading hi-res photos to the internet anymore, because i'm planning to launch my own wallpaper store/stock service in the end of this year... besides that, i've got some really bad experiences with sharing my artwork to the people i don't know... sorry :/
