Bay Fishing Trip

Birds at Dawn
Well I spent my Saturday on a fishing trip on the beautiful Chesapeake Bay.  We got the marina well before sunrise, which is a time of day that I rarely see, but it one of the best times to take photographs.  On the way out I was able to grab a few shots of the gulls flying before dawn.  The sun came up right before we got to our first trolling spot.  The sun rose directly over this small tree covered jetty which was a great subject because the shadows of the trees created a nice silhouette. I took a few shots while the boat was moving, but the image to the right was my favorite.  We were able to catch quite a few perch on the trip and overall it was quite a success. I took all the images in .NEF format, light editing in PhotoShop and Picasa. The entire set can be seen on Flickr at: Bay Fishing Set

Hardware wise I used only my D60 with my 18-135mm Nikkor lens.  ISO was mostly set on Auto setting.
Putting the little guys back

  1. Dan I LOVE the sunrise pic!! Want to get it for my wall of sunrises and sunsets I'm currently doing. I went to the flicker link but there are 2 pics there and it looks like you cut out the sun in the pics? I like the one you posted with your blog, do you have that one?
