Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in Nags Head, North Carolina during our annual vacation this year, and is one of dozens I took that morning using both my phone and my Nikon D3200.

Time

One of my vacation rituals is to hit the beach each day before sunrise with my gear and a cup of coffee. Always in search of the perfect shot, I was delighted to see that the sun on the horizon was rising in the company of the most amazing storm cloud, spewing a torrential downpour of rain.

Lighting

The atmosphere was glowing with the soft pink light of the new day. I was glad the storm was far out to sea!

Equipment

My trusty iPhone helped me with this shot!

Inspiration

Storms at sea are as majestic as a beautiful sunrise!

Editing

No need to post process-

In my camera bag

In addition to my iPhone XR, I carry a Nikon D3200 with 55-300 and 35mm lenses . Some day I’ll have my dream lense!

Feedback

There’s nothing more beautiful than a sunrise on the OBX!
