Sunrise in Daytona Florida

Sunrise in Daytona Florida
This picture was shot in... You guessed it Daytona, Florida. The beach is a funny place. It is where people go to relax by burning of the top layer of their skin with ultra violet radiation.

I think the early morning on the beach was my favorite time. The temperature was nice, and there were few people out.

As for photography if you shoot enough sunrises and sunsets you will catch a good one. There are a lot of tricks for getting the best shot and color possible. HDR looks good, but you can't have any motion in the picture because it is actually multiple pictures merged and you need a software package that can merge it for you. With long exposure single shot photography you can miss some of the color, and short exposure you get shadows. Just keep playing with it until the sun is to high or set. The experimentation is half the fun of photography.

  1. Daytona has so much more to shoot, beside Sunrises and Sunsets. You have great subject matter there, such as the people on the beach, the cars driving on the beach, all the motorcycles during bike week, and especially when you catch dolphins swimming in the ocean.

  2. I agree there is a lot to shoot there. I have posted several other pictures from Daytona, and have many more on reserve.
