The Equinox happens every year twice a year. I have to shoot it every time. This opens up lots of opportunities and lots of great shots from different locations. This year I went back to Deering Estate, I held a meet up there and finally caught a really good sunrise. I have shot this location many times but never had a crazy sky like this time. I am extremely happy with this shot and I am putting this location on hold for a while.
Miami has officially froze over, no joke it was so cold this morning, but I did manage to get a shot. Here is the Vlog of the day. As always it is amazing being out there taking pictures getting some fresh air.
Its crazy how many sunrises I shoot per year, almost all of them. Sadly they are not all photogenic, in fact its quite the opposite. Most of the time I end up sitting on the beach watching it and not photographing it. Its not a bad thing, but as a photographer I wish they were all epic.
This particular morning looked clear and not so colorful, when all of the sudden the stars aligned and this happened. It was an epic moment to say the least.
In this video I will go over how to edit a picture of a sunrise. Keep in mind I want to keep this image looking dramatic and kind of dark. I simply want to clean it up and bring out the colors a bit.
Here is one I shot this Saturday. It was so windy out I only got 2 shots in before packing up and leaving. It was so uncomfortable being out on the beach, we kept getting sand blasted and everyting kept getting tipped over, however the photos turned out ok. I always say crazy weather makes good pictures. Here is a full tutorial on how I shoot this kind of photos.
