IAP, for those who are just tuning in, is one of the greatest times to be at MIT. It's all the geek-culture, learning cool things, without so much of the "frak it's 4am and I don't understand the material I have a test over in 5 hours". IAP in fact stands for "It's Awesome. Period".
Anyway, my sleep schedule is still experiencing a phase shift, which means I'm usually awake before the sun rises. During the year, the sunrise is sort of an unpleasant experience, it means you're running out of time studying and you won't get to sleep much. But I've really been enjoying seeing the sunrise over the past week or so-- it's peaceful and usually stunning. So without further ado, I give you "sunrise from my room":

You know, the in the place where I study (I applied to MIT twice...) there is a student town called "Sulƒótekis", which means "Sunrise". And a half year ago I actually got the meaning of it - being awake while the sun beautifully glances through the window at your textbook. It's awesome.

Sorry, which part of the city this picture is?

Out of curiosity, which dorm were you in at the time ?
I can see the dome on the left side and so it's a west-campus dorm, and I think I'm seeing Kresge Auditorium and a few play fields. The J.B. Carr Indoor Tennis court is in the front.
So I'd say ... Simmons ?

You're correct about the HDR technique, but the presence of HDR in the URL is an artifact of the way my pictures were named upon import. I shot a bunch of different photos that morning, and some were setup to merge to HDR later. I.e. some photos have HDR tags that were actually just single shots.
I /think/ you're right though, and this was the product of one of the HDR shots. The HDR didn't turn out drastically different than the single exposures, but since this was my favorite of the set, I think it's reasonable to believe it was one of the real HDRs. I could go back and check the EXIF data, but I'm not that motivated.

I was in no way trying to belittle your photo. HDR is just a really neat technique. Thank you for the reply!

It was not my intent to be critical. HDR is just a really neat technique. I appreciate the quick response.

I know. I absolutely hate that picture, but c'est la vie I suppose. Maybe I'll change it some time.
