Steve Gallow - A Year in Photos

With this blog I have begun a journey to improve my photography skills. My goal is to take photos everyday, and post my favorite photo from that day on this blog. So far, I have learned a lot, and try to share my experiences. Many of you have made comments on the blog, via email, or when you see me in person. I really appreciate all of them. I learn a lot from each of you. I hope that you will join me in my journey, and help me along the way. I have so much to learn.

Week 49, Day 341, April 5, 2010, Sunrise at Biddeford Pool

We awoke early to head to the beach before the Sun rise. We were treated to a high tide, cool breezes, and just enough clouds near the horizon for a spectacular view.

Lessons Learned:

I remembered to set the White Balance to flash for warmer colors. I like the effect it has on Sunrises and Sunsets.
The light changes very quickly during a sunrise, and gives interesting effects.

Photo details: Exposure time 1/80 sec, Aperture f/8.0, ISO 100, Focal Length 29 mm, Lens Canon EF 17-40mm, tripod.

Here, however, you've balanced the two divergent zones masterfully. Love the feel of the foreground.; April 7, 2010 at 9:37 PM
