Sunny days

Found this gem while waiting for the sun to set on two commercial shrimp boats. Sometimes your best shots are the unexpected ones.

Usually they would be looking back at me. However, they were both looking at a duck in the water. Not sure how they did not end up in the water after

While on a hike I walked up on this dandelion just in time to make a wish. The sun was pretty high but I used it to my advantage.

Sunday drive in Va wine country.

The light was low being winter, and the colors just perfect as I hiked around this lake for the first time.

Followed this duck around for 25 minutes while at the National Zoo in Washington DC

The reflection in my dogs eye was not intended, so it was a nice surprise.

Just a backyard capture of my German shepherd in winter.

The timing for this shot to include the Amish folks exploring the mill was by chance. The mill itself is quite colorful with red shutters and trim but

Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was from a balcony 8 stories up at Folly Beach SC.

Time

Evening, during the blue hour. Just after sunset.

Lighting

The blue hour is a special time for creating unique lighting. The hour after sunset is worth some time.

Equipment

Sony alpha 35 Aperture f/5.6?ISO 100?Shutter 1/50?Focal Length 300/1?

Inspiration

I absolutely love the beach and saw some unique colors through the lens on this evening. I had no idea I was going to capture this. One of my favorites.

Editing

I adjusted the exposure just a bit so you could make out the shadows of the people near the water.

In my camera bag

Sony alpha with a couple of different lenses. And some cleaning supplies. The beach is not friendly to camera equipment.

Feedback

Explore different hours of the day. My favorite times are the golden(hour before sunset) and blue hour(hour after sunset). And have fun with it.
