This photo was taken at the Petoskey Pierhead Lighthouse in Petoskey, Michigan.Time
I captured this photo just after sunrise. I remember waking up that morning to head out and thinking, I hope it’s not just overcast when the sun comes up.Lighting
I was at the mercy of Mother Nature and she was merciful.Equipment
This is shot handheld with a Canon 6D, 70-200mm f/2.8 IS USM @ 100mm; f/8; 1/320: ISO 500Inspiration
I have been visiting this area for over 30 years and have always been drawn to the sunrises, sunsets and the crashing waves over the break wall.Editing
Post production in Photoshop. Mostly just increase in contrast with some dodging and burning here and there.In my camera bag
My travel bag is pretty basic: Canon 6D body with grip and extra batteries, Tamron 24-70 G2, Canon 70-200 2.8, Yongnuo YN560IV speed life and trigger.Feedback
Get up early. Get out early. Plan your shot well ahead of time. Be patient.
