Location
This photo was taken in Point Reyes, California. I took up photography once my brother introduced me to it.Time
This is one of favorite photos. I awoke to an alarm at 5:00 AM to get ready to out in the cold foggy morning to catch the sun rising. After a quick breakfast, I packed my equipment and headed out. As I was setting up my camera equipment, the wind was wiping and it was really cold. I kept asking myself, as I am not usually an early riser, what am I doing this early in the morning when my other choice would be sleeping. It was taken on April 4, 2014 at 8:00 AM. Exposure is 1/4000 sec at f / 6.3, Focal Length is 250 mm, and ISO was set to 100.Lighting
I used the natural lighting. I did experiment with the different white balance setting. This photo turned out to be the one.Equipment
Nikon D60, Sigma 18-250 lens, Manfrotto 725B tripod and a standalone leveler attached to the camera’s Make the flash shoe.Inspiration
I always wanted to photograph the sunrise, but normally sleep at this hour. Since this was part of my landscape photograph class assignment, I had no choice but to rise and shine. The morning colors.Editing
Yes, I utilized Adobe Photoshop Lightroom version five. I adjusted the tones, presence, and adjusted sharping and noise.In my camera bag
Beside the equipment I used to photograph the photo, I pack my Sigma 10-24 wide-angle lens, polarize filter, extra memory cards and of cause batteries, Nikon SB900 Flash, and Gary Fong diffuser. All the equipment including my tripod fit into my Kata backpackFeedback
Make the sacrifice and wake up early. You have to have patience Do not be afraid to experiment with your camera’s settings, especially with your white balance setting. One would be surprised of what you might capture. If your tripod does not come with a leveler, invest in one. Since I purchased mine, my landscape photos comes out so straight. Good luck!
