This lighthouse is in St. Augustine, Florida. We went there on our Honeymoon in 2010. The climb to the top was 219 steps. Very hard work after awhile,

The focus was always on the mother. We wondered what the father may have looked like. Dad was thrilled to play along!

Location

This photo was taken in our home town of Daytona Beach, FL.

Time

We had heard about a stranded boat so decided to make a sunrise opportunity out of the excursion.

Lighting

Lighting was not something I struggled with on this shot since the sunrise and the lights on the boat helped to accent all the right features.

Equipment

This was taken with my Pentax camera.

Inspiration

I have always loved photography of shrimp boats and when a photo of this was in our local newspaper it was a no brainer! Was hoping for a good sunrise to go with it. Not much of one, but the drama with the dark clouds just seemed to make the photo.

Editing

I did a little with the highlighting to accent the sunrise and lights on the boat.

In my camera bag

Back then I used a Pentax. Now I am using a Canon Rebel T7 EOS, 18-300 zoom lens. I like this camera as I do not have to keep changing from one lens to another. I am very happy with it.

Feedback

Just get out and try your best. Take lots of shots and experiment. But the best advice is to have fun with it!
