Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the beach in Long Branch, NJ.

Time

This image was captured just after 7:00am on a cold morning in January. I had the entire beach to myself other then a few sea gulls.

Lighting

The sky blew up with some great colors for only a few minutes that morning then the clouds disappeared.

Equipment

This image was captured using my Nikon D5100 and a Tokina 11.0-16.0 mm f/2.8 lens at 13mm with an aperture of ƒ/9.5 and a shutter speed of 1/60. My ISO was set at 100 and I was using my Manfrotto tripod.

Inspiration

I always enjoy the early morning solitude of shooting and capturing great images.

Editing

Some slight post processing was done in Lightroom, mainly I increased the shadows to display more of the rocks.

In my camera bag

I shoot a Nikon D5100 and I always carry the following lens: Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8, Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8, Rokinon 8mm fisheye and my Nikon 18-55mm kit lens. I also almost always shoot on a tripod.

Feedback

Get out and shoot!
