Sunrise at the St Augustine Fishing Pier

Founded in 1565 by Spanish explorers, St. Augustine is the oldest continuously inhabited European-established settlement within the borders of the continental United States. The city served as the capital of Spanish Florida for over 200 years. It was designated as the capital of British East Florida when the colony was established in 1763, until the British colony was ceded back to Spain in 1783.

Kodak Portra is a family of daylight-balanced professional color negative films originally introduced in 1998 and made primarily for portrait and wedding applications. The color negative film offers a smooth and natural color palette that is balanced with vivid saturation and low contrast for accurate skin tones and consistent results. The film is also well-suited for nature, travel, and outdoor shooting with moving subjects, or when the lighting cannot be controlled. Online sources recommend shooting at ISO-200 rather than 400.
Officially named the St. Johns County Ocean Pier, the St. Augustine Beach Pier is located on Anastasia Island in the city of St. Augustine Beach. It is located on one of Florida's most historic coasts.

Spain ceded Florida to the United States in 1819, and St. Augustine was designated the capital of the Florida Territory upon ratification of the Adams-Onís Treaty in 1821. Florida remained an organized territory of the United States until 1845, when it was admitted into the Union as the State of Florida.

Henry Flagler, a co-founder with John D. Rockefeller of the Standard Oil Company, spent the winter of 1883 in St. Augustine and found the city charming, but considered its hotels and transportation systems inadequate. Flagler had the idea to make St. Augustine a winter resort for wealthy Americans from the north, and to bring them south, he bought several short line railroads and combined these in 1885 to form the Florida East Coast Railway

In 2015, St. Augustine celebrated the 450th anniversary of its founding with a four-day long festival and a visit from Felipe VI of Spain and Queen Letizia of Spain.

Hey Paul, thanks for posting these pics & history - it's interesting as a visitor to learn things like this. I'm unfamiliar with the camera & film info but I was most drawn to the 1st image. The light on the pier posts, hinting at a bright sunset low to the right out of shot, and the overall tones of the pier being so well reflected in the tones of the wave breaking between the posts, bottom left - these elements attracted my attention. I also love the shell-encrusted pier base. I tried zooming super-close to shoot just the shells in a similar view one time & the overall effect was great (well, I liked it but danged if I can find it now!).
One question, the grain in the top 2 shots - is that from scanning a photo, or slide, or is that from film, or...? Happy Monday!! D.

Thank you Jerry, Tommy2, Tazzy, Bill, MSW, NJFrank, Kim, Jason! I spent about an hour at the pier, concluding with the sun rising over the clouds on the horizon. A few other images from this morning have occurred in the landscape section.

Thank you Dione! The film images are professionally scanned from the developed negatives by North Coast Photography Services, who also did the developing. The resulting JPEG were then processed in Lightroom. The grain is the grain of the film. Glad you enjoyed.
