I always enjoy going in the studio on a rainy day and doing a table top. Getting everything setup and just right can take a day of utter enjoyment. Th

Location

Anastasia Island, Saint Augustine, Fl

Time

Shortly after Sunrise in December maybe 7 AM or so.

Lighting

I like the golden look. I photograph on this beach often every sunrise is different. I Have lots of them and none are the same

Equipment

Nikon D7100 with a zoom lens. No Idea where the focal lenght was set. This one was hand held. Generally, I will use a tripod just to make sure I get that extra crispness. In my formal education I learned most about the technical aspects on a 4x5 view camera. It might take most of a day in the studio to get everything just right on the polaroid before putting film in the holder.

Inspiration

It just happened. Right place at the right time. I started in photography when I was ten years old with an Argus C-3 and no light meter. Just had to guess ar rhe exposure. I am no 65 years old and have been wirh photography all of my life. Wenr to RIT and graduated with honors with BS in Professional Photography.

Editing

Not on this one. Maybe a little brightness correction. I usually don't. I was taught to do all of the composition in the camera. At one time it was a big fad to print with the sprocket holes showing just to prove that you did no manipulation in the dark room.

In my camera bag

Nikon D7100 Nd an 18 to 135? and a 55 to 300.

Feedback

I generally will previisualize the scene in my minds eye. Then I may have to go to the the location and just wait for the light to get right. Somtimes I may have to go back several times before everything is just right....till everything looks like I visualized it.
