Still Thinking Local
Aug 27, 2022 07:53:37 #
I got up this morning and decided that I would head to the mouth of the Toms River. This location is where the Toms River runs into the Barnegat Bay. There were some high clouds, so I thought the color might be good this morning. This location is really only good for photography when the sun is coming up. I took several photos; but only kept a few. The Pano was done with a 135mm lens in portrait orientation. The other two are just straight up photos.

1 Just minutes before the sun came up over the bridge. The colors really put on a show.

thank you. I'm pleased how that one came out. Many times I'll shoot sunrises before the sun comes up and not bother with the bright orb when it comes above the horizon; but, with that bridge, I thought it made a good composition. Thanks for taking a look.

I was a bit unsure about no. 3. I was afraid that it would be too boring; but it does give you a feeling of early in the morning and everyone waking up slowly. Once I got it on the computer, I liked it. Thanks for taking a look.

That shot benefitted from a short telephoto. Putting on a 135mm made the textures come alive. THanks for taking a look.

Beautifully so well seen! Near my old stomping grounds from way back.
Thank you for the compliment. I've been taking shots of the localities that are on the Toms River. I've shot at this location before; but mostly in the winter. It has a completely different feel in the summer. Fun Project.

Down the shore sunrises. These don’t get any better. Especially number two.
