The third in my series of posts covering Olhuveli by day, night, and finally — at sunrise. The lightweight Sirui T-024X Carbon Fiber Tripod and C-10S Ball Head was carted along for this Maldives trip. And after two earlier attempts to capture morning sunrises on Days 03 and 06 @ Huraa Island where the sun refused to show amidst very heavy early morning cloud cover, I finally got lucky on Day 09 @ Olhuveli. Granted, I was feeling pretty awful at this point of the stay — I didn’t realize that I’d been struck by dengue fever until I returned home to Singapore — but still pulled myself together to get up at 5:20AM — Male time — for a morning sunrise shoot at the boardwalk leading to our water villa. The actual timing at Olhuveli was an hour after Male time, but for easier reference — and also on account that as much as Olhuveli would have liked, they really do not seem to have their own timezone, not according to Google anyway haha — I’ve left the timings as Male time here.
Our ang mo bud joined me for this one — he walked 15 minutes from his room to get to my vantage location even — and we were treated to a spectacular morning sunrise. The sun was scheduled to come up at 5:58AM this morning, though looking at the various time-stamps of the photos, we really only got to see the sun rise above the horizon’s cloud layer later than that.
Next post on my review of Olhuveli!
