Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Key Largo Florida. Love going to the Keys because you can catch a breathtaking sunrise in the morning and an enchanting sunset at night.

Time

Unfortunately, I’m not a before dawn riser but on this day I felt what I captured was worth setting up early for.

Lighting

To watch a new day rising with the sun bursting through the clouds assures me it’s going to be a great day.

Equipment

This picture was taken only a few months after I bought the Nikon D7200 so I believe it was with the 70-300 lens that came with the camera.

Inspiration

I love to watch nature at its best. Doesn’t get much better than to know you have another day to make it awesome with the sunrise.

Editing

Because this was taken in the beginning of my photography learning, I’m going to say I did very little, if anything, to alter this photo.

In my camera bag

At that time very little did I carry in my bag but now I always have the Nikon 28-300 and the 105 micro.

Feedback

Patience is key for anything. Go out to your chosen site with your beverage of choice and take several photos in different settings.
