Morning at Turkey Point

I went out shooting with my friend, Thom, today, on a tour of lighthouses and covered bridges. Here’s one of my favorite’s from the day. I shot basically two lenses all day long — the Tokina 12-24mm f/4 and the new Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8, and had an absolute blast!

This image is of the Turkey Point lighthouse, in Elk Neck State Park. We got there just a few seconds past sunrise, which was just about perfect timing. The time was 7:33am, and I used the 12-24mm at 17mm for this shot. The exposure was f/5.6 at 1/50th of a second, ISO200. The camera was on a tripod for this shot, though I could have hand-held okay.

4:00am came awfully early this morning (that’s when I got up to get ready to head out the door!), and I’m fully whipped at this point. So, you’ll have to wait until sometime tomorrow for more pictures.
