Location
I took this in my hometown of St. Augustine, FL. The morning was very foggy. So, after dropping off my son at school I drove to the bay front hoping to catch a dramatic foggy morning. Most of the fog had lifted by the time I had gotten there but the stillness on the water was breathtaking.Time
I took the photo around 8:30am.Lighting
The fog was lifting and the sun was coming up quickly. The combination lit the ocean and boats perfectly.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon EOS 5D Mark lll, EF 24-70mm f/2.8L.Inspiration
When I saw how beautiful the bay front was with the early morning fog I knew I had to try to freeze that moment in time.Editing
The photo was edited in Apple's Aperture software. It was shot in RAW. So, I corrected the white balance and boosted the contrast.In my camera bag
In my camera bag is my Canon 5D Mark lll, a canon EF 24-70mm, f/2.8L and Canon EF 70-200mm, f/2.8LFeedback
When you see something you love just shoot it. Dawn and dusk are prime moments for capturing the the magic. I always shoot in raw and manual.
