Sunrise on the Ada Mae | New Bern, NC

Sunday morning, I set out before the sun came up for a sunrise photoshoot. On my way, I noticed that the horizon was just beginning to glow just above the water and I knew exactly where to stop. I have been wanting to shoot this scene, but during the evening this is a very popular and busy restaurant however, in the wee hours of the morning there wasn't a person to be seen. I set up the shot so that I could get the skipjack Ada Mae in the scene as well. The sailboat was built in 1915 and provides shipboard education now. She stays docked here beside Persimmon's restaurant when not out on the Neuse River. I knew that the really bright light on the front of the building would make a great flare at a small aperture, so I composed the frame so that it would be in the upper right, with the approaching sunrise peeking into the lower left frame for balance.

The shot: Single exposure,  f/13, 6 second exposure, ISO-200. A little Photoshop adjusting for color.
