Re: Sunrise on Oahu...
Kailua Beach. Dec 06'
Probably an hour or so after Sunrise.
Shot with your basic Point and Shoot.
Mother Nature does all the work.

Re: Sunrise on Oahu...
Somewhere you should be able to find a astronomy site that can tell you at what compass point the sun will come up. That way you can position yourself to a good spot while it's still dark without having to do a dry run the day before. The good part of the sunrise isn't all that long.

It'd be nice if you could somehow plug that data into Google Earth so you could see a virtual preview, too. Does anybody here know how to do that?Last edited by Glen Miyashiro; July 8, 2007, 01:08 PM.

Edit: I know how to turn it, I can't figure out how to get it to exactly 65 degrees. I see North, East and a 45 degree mark half way in-between. Talk about a lack of precision....Last edited by GeckoGeek; July 8, 2007, 08:50 PM.

Re: Sunrise on Oahu...
I checked a KML dictionary and found that azimuth is represented by the heading tag. So if you went into Google Earth, saved the location in KML, and then edited the KML file to set the heading to 65, and then re-opened that KML file in Google Earth, I think you'd have it.
[a few minutes later:] Ack! It's actually even easier than that. In Google Earth, once you set your placemark, then Get Info on it, go to the View tab, and edit the Heading value. Done!Last edited by Glen Miyashiro; July 8, 2007, 10:10 PM.
