Looks like a surrealist painting...colors compliment the bridge, help it to stand out in sharp contrast to the sea...hope to see this in a gallery someday...

Behind The Lens

Location

Gasparilla Island State Park in Boca Grande, Florida

Time

Early Morning, Sunrise

Lighting

This image was a 30 second exposure to capture all the natural lighting.

Equipment

Camera: Nikon D90 Lens: Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 Tripod: Slik Pro w/ Ball Head Wired Trigger

Inspiration

As I was walking back from my original location, I noticed the morning sunlight reflecting off the water and old pier. The colors, shapes and leading lines just drew me in to the view and I had to capture this moment.

Editing

After basic post-processing of brightness, contrast and such, I applied an HDR preset from Lightroom to the image and then fine tuned the rest of the settings to where I felt it looked best.

In my camera bag

Camera: Nikon D90 Lens 1: Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 Lens 2: Nikkor 55-300mm 3.5-5.6 VR Lens 3: Nikkor 50mm 1.2 Lens 4: Nikkor 18-55 3.5 - 5.6 VR Flash: Nikon Speedlight 800 Generic Wired Remote & Wireless Remote Various Filters

Feedback

Be prepared for anything. I had no intention of capturing this image, but when I saw it, I had to have it. It was cold out and I waded out in the chilly, rough waters to get the right framing.
