Location

This photo was taken on a beach in Florida.

Time

I went to the beach when it was still nighttime, and watched as the sun gradually rose into the sky. It was a magnificent sunrise. The ocean waves lapped against the wet sand as the clouds turn from deep blue, brilliant yellow, fiery orange, and feisty pink to white.

Lighting

Dawn provides the most amazing lighting. Need I say more?

Equipment

I'm not professional, so I didn't have any fancy equipment. All I used was my Panasonic Lumix DMC-G3 camera.

Inspiration

The magnificence of the sunrise inspired me to try to capture it. You know those times when you want to bottle up the moment and save it for a rainy day? I wanted to preserve that feeling of expansiveness and freedom that I experienced. I wanted to keep the memory of the gritty sand, calling seagulls, and foamy ocean waves.

Editing

I tinkered around in Lightroom until I the picture was as vivid as I wanted it to be. The picture seems to jump right off the screen!

In my camera bag

I use a camera. That's all.

Feedback

If you want the most amazing sunrise picture, come before dawn breaks and experience the awesomeness of the sunrise. Your picture will reflect your feelings.
