Early Morning: A Shrimp Boat and a Dolphin

I captured this shrimp boat with its nets out and dolphin taking an

early morning swim near shore with an orange sky backdrop just as

the sun emerged from the horizon on a crystal clear morning. I just

thought it was an interesting and unique assortment of subjects with

the shrimp boat, dolphin, and sunrise. I'd love to hear your

thoughts! Thanks!

I barely made it out to the beach this day so this shot isn't as great as I would have liked. I had to hand hold the camera at 300mm and use my largest f-stop to have any chance of a sharp image. Furthermore, my exposure compensation was set to underexposed and I just started shooting so fast that I didn't catch it right away. So, exposure is not as great as I would have liked. Regardless though, I can never get a good picture of a shrimp boat off shore (they rarely get close enough) or a dolphin (this one was swiming so close to shore it was in about 2 feet of water), much less both of them together at sunrise! I'd love to hear some thoughts and comments!

Tyler, you are lucky to live in such a beautiful area.. I think the eclectic collection of the shrimp boat, dolphin and colors of the sunrise work well. I can really feel what life must be like on the east ocast. Since I have never been to the East Coast, you have accomplished the task of showing me your world extremly well. Best reagrds, and glad to see you out shooting, I have posted some more "rural stuff" you might like, please let me knwo what you think.. Cheers.. Cole
