Low Tide in the AM
Somehow I was able to convince @greesetin @timmyktk and @dang3r_noodle to get up at 2:30am to drive 2 hours out to Montauk for sunrise. In the summer, the sun can rise as early as 4:30am in New York. It was worth it to experience the beautiful light with the local fisherman. This photo is an excellent example of wide angle distortion. As I got down close to the rocks in the foreground, they became a significant character in the frame. I love their texture and subtle sheen of the sunrise light reflecting in their wetness. The fisherman, waste deep in the ocean, finishes the composition nicely. The overall scene tells the story of many Montauk mornings.
