Location
The photo was taken at Fort Ord beach in Marina, California where I live. It was in the morning after a storm.Time
At sunrise about 6:30 amLighting
I wanted to capture the force and power of the ocean and it’s waves.Equipment

I like to go out after it rains, because everything is fresh and clean. the waves are powerful and light hits them perfectly as they old. Golden hour is best time.Editing
