Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken one early morning when I just got off working 3rd shift at a foundry. I'm a self taught still learning photographer, with 4 small kids so I don't get as much time as I'd like.Time
Early morning along the river in Wrightsville PA. My family would still be asleep so I'd sit by the river and watch the sun come up. So like 5am.Lighting
The only light was from the rising sun.Equipment
I took this with my Canon 40d shortly before it died. The lens i used was my trusty Tamron 18-270. One of my fav lens.Inspiration
I loved watching the sun come up after a long nite. I always thought to myself how many people are missing this sunrise that will only ever happen once!Editing
I tweaked the brightness alittle in photoshopIn my camera bag
In my bag is my canon, my tamron 18-270, my canon 11-18, and my 50. I also have my crystal ball and a lego mini figure my son gave me that has a camera in his hand.Feedback
Wake up early, wait and enjoy as the sun comes up. It might not always be the shot you're waiting for but it will always be a one time event.
