Sunrise over the Beach
Woke up early to find a sunrise, and discovered this scene. Definitely worth it! This photo was taken in southern MD.

Location
This photo was taken near the cove point lighthouse in Maryland.Time
I woke up early in order to get the by sunrise. I got there just as the sun was about to rise. I literally ran out onto the beach in order to make sure that I was set to take my photo. It was an awesome sunrise!Lighting
I really wanted to replicate just how awesome this sunrise was. I think it's a pretty good photo, but still hardly does it justice.Equipment
I shot this photo on a Nikon D810, using a 14-24 mm lens and a tripod.Inspiration
I was actually out there to take pictures of the lighthouse with the sunset in the background. However, this shot was too good to pass up, so I never actually made it to the lighthouse.Editing
Nothing special about the post-processing of this picture. I added some contrast, and brought up the shadows, and that's about it.In my camera bag
Here's what I typically carry in my bag: Nikon D810 Nikkor 14-24mm f2.8 Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikkor 85mm f/1.8 Nikkor 105mm f/2.8 Lee big stopper B+W 4-stop ND filter Circular polarizer And a very basic tripod. However, I fully plan to replace this with a better one, soon.Feedback
The best advice I can give is just to get out there and take some pictures... Wake up early and make sure to get there an hour before sunrise.
