This was all natural lightingEquipment
This was shot with a Nikon D7100, 18-55mm kit lensInspiration
Like many others, I love sunrise and sunset photos. The nice thing about being out in the middle of the ocean away from the coast lines, is there’s no major city pollution influence or affects.Editing
Very little. I made slight shadow, highlight, and clarity adjustments to bring out more detailsIn my camera bag
Nowadays, I have a D7500, D750, and Z6 Nikons. Lenses 24-70mm f/2.8(F and Z mounts), 70-200mm f/2.8(F mount), 14-24mm f/2.8(F mount, 50mm & 85mm f/1.8(Z mounts)Feedback
