Headlands Dunes Revisited 7/11/2009






Looks like we're going back for another Sunrise Shoot on Saturday 7/11/2009. I just received this email from Jerry and based on the forecast he's hoping for good conditions on Saturday Morning Here's Jerry's email:

Hi all,

In looking at the upcoming forecast for this weekend, I'm interested in trying to revisit Mentor Headlands. I'm hoping that the front that is being predicted will arrive early Saturday morning. You never know until you get there. So I'm thinking of heading to Mentor on Saturday morning again. Arrive at the parking lot at 5am and be setup for predawn light and/or clouds by 5:15am. Sunrise will be around 6am. I know this is an early shoot, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the clouds will co-operate. Also there is a possibility that Saturday night could have some cloud formations that could be nice up on the lake. So a possibility for an overcast and dramatic cloud scape to shoot at Mentor either in the morning or evening. Any others interested in the morning at Mentor?

So, it looks like Jerry has talked me into going back for another Sunrise Shoot, but if you're not an earlybird you may want to do a Sunset shoot on your own or talk some of your friends into doing a Sunset shoot with you. Or if you live around there you may want to do both.

Ok so it's up to you, you can either do the sunrise or sunset, below are the times for Sunrise and Sunset at Headlands Dunes on 7/11/2009
