Location

I took this photo on Smathers Beach in Key West, Florida

Time

This was taken at sunrise

Lighting

I wanted this to look as natural as possible, so the lighting credit goes to the big man upstairs!

Equipment

This was shot with a Canon Rebel T2i,efs 55-250mm lens, Aperture f/16, ISO 100, shutter 1/500

Inspiration

I was planning to propose to my then girlfriend and I used wanting to take pictures at sunrise as my excuse to get her to the beach that early. It also just happened to be our birthday (we have same birthday, just different years), so everything had to be perfect. The sunrise was perfect and she looked beautiful, so it was a win - win for me this day.

Editing

I did not do any post-processing on this.

In my camera bag

I always have my 50mm, 55-250mm and stock 18-55mm on me. 2 freshly charged batteries, 2 freshly dumped and formatted SD cards, travel tri pod from Target and a snack.

Feedback

Go to bed early. Go the first day as more of a scouting mission, but of course snap away. Day 2 is the big day, so prep, relax and get plenty of rest, you will be up way early but is way worth it.
