A local beach with a bird sanctuary for breeding and migrating birds. Early morning at low tide.

The outer petals were so pale pink, they almost appear white.

Was at the beach late one evening and walked over to the harbor as the sun was setting. This is Black Rock Harbor in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA. To

Location

This photo was taken at Penfield Beach in Fairfield, CT, USA

Time

I love to see a good sunrise. It involves waking up early, usually around 5 am. to allow enough time to get everything ready and travel time to the shore line, which takes about 20 minutes. I have photographed the sunrise in a nearby location, but since moving to this town, I wanted to try it here. I have learned that the sun rises over the water in the winter. It was a chilly 25 degrees Fahrenheit on this early March morning. The shot was taken at 6:35 am.

Lighting

Although the sky and water are bright, the foreground can be dark, so I experiment with different angles, lenses and settings.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D 3500 with a Nikon 10-20 mm lens set at 15mm ISO 800

Inspiration

I wanted to photograph the sunrise in a new location. Even with using an app that forecasts the weather conditions at sunrise, I have been disappointed before when the conditions turned out not to be favorable. So I keep going as the conditions are different every time. This turned out to be a good day to photograph the sunrise.

Editing

I lightened the image and highlighted the colors.

In my camera bag

I carry the Nikon D3500 with a variety of lenses depending what I am photographing. A standard Nikon 18 to 15mm, a Tamron 18 to 200 mmm or a Tamron 18 to 400 and a Tamron G2 150 to 600mm lens. I also carry a lens ball, extra batteries and memory cards. I will also throw in my CanonSX 710 HS

Feedback

If I am planning on photographing the sunrise, I always check the weather forecast the day before, and I look at the sky in the morning before heading out. I have also photographed the sunrise from the lake or the woods.
