Taking this sunrise shot, and numerous others that morning, I dropped the ISO, opened the aperture to f:8 and kicked the shutter speed to 1-1000 sec. Resulting in that which appears to be a Sepia print. Though I did run this thru On1 Effects to boost the overall effects. Using both a "Dynamic Contrast," and "Photo Filter(bi-color, inverted) presets to accomplish this :{)))

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was made while fishing in Loyola Beach Texas. Nothing like catching a beautiful sunrise, while also putting some food on the table.

Time

Now that's a hard one. Sunrise, I'd guess around 6:30 or later. Would have to check the metadata to know for sure.

Lighting

If I remember right, I drug the shutter a bit. About 1/30 sec. while using a 300 mm lens. It was quite overcast that morning, but didn't want to over-expose it.

Equipment

As with most of my photos, to date, a Nikon D3100. That day I had my Sigma 18-300, f.4-5.6.(while hoping for wildlife shots.) Sitting on top of my Manfroto tripod, with Benro head.

Inspiration

Like all photos, an expression of the beauty revealed within a moment of time.

Editing

Off hand, I couldn't say for sure. But like many others, I'd guess a slight exposure drop, down on Highlights, up on contrast and blacks. Having shot film for most my photography life, post processing is usually pretty limited.

In my camera bag

Truthfully, that's one of the hardest questions to answer. For it's very dependent upon the purpose for which I'm out. Being a fan of telephotos, it would include a variety of them. This would also be dependent on the size of my wallet at the time.

Feedback

Get up and get there early. Cause one never knows what may present itself for your pleasure.
