"Sunrise Lens Flare" - I wanted to get a shot of the Ocean Grove pier before they started rebuilding it from the damage it took from Hurricane Sandy a decade ago. The beach was super crowded and all kinds of people kept walking in front of the camera. I had given up and put the camera away and started collapsing the tripod when I saw the lifeguard boat row past, so I grabbed my camera out of the bag and caught this handheld. I love the vintage look and flare that I get with this 1970s era Soviet portrait lens, the Helios 44-2. f/2, 1/4000, ISO 50. #oceangrove #og #newjersey #nj #jerseyshore #beach #ocean #sunrise #mediumformat #fujifilm #fuji #gfx50sii #helios #helios44-2 #vintage #adaptedlens (at Ocean Grove, New Jersey) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpB0JYAk-F/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sunrise at Steel Rigg. Alone, up on Hadrian’s Wall, with not a sound besides the bleating sheep.
