Welcome To The Wednesday View

Earlier in the week I posted a shot of the sunrise over Atlantic City and told you that I exercised a bit of "artistic license" when I darkened the scene to show off just how dramatic the sunrise was in person. I also told you that I would share a more accurate image later in the week. Well that's just what I am doing today. And you also get a nice wide view too.

That bit of beach you can see is in Brigantine New Jersey just across the Inlet from Atlantic City.

Technical Info

- Canon EOS 80D
- Sigma DC 18-250mm Lens at 51mm
- Shutter Priority
- Aperture F8
- Shutter Speed 1/200 Second
- ISO (Film Speed) 200
- Center Weighted Average Metering

A quick note. In the data above you will see that I was shooting in Shutter Priority. Shutter Priority is where you set the shutter speed for a particular situation such as shooting wildlife or perhaps a sporting event and would use a fast speed to capture the action. Sort of a freeze frame effect. However this is not usually done with landscape images such as this one. And I used Shutter Priority quite by accident because I failed to reset my camera settings from the day before when I was photographing birds and squirrels in our backyard. Fortunately though everything turned out fairly well. Though I would have like some slightly crisper sunrise photos. It was a lesson learned.

You can read more about Camera Priority settings here if you are so inclined.
