North Haven Sunrise.


 
BetterPhoto.com Photo Contest Finalist   North Haven Sunrise.
North Haven Sunrise.
Captured on one of my early morning walks just before sunrise, at the entrance of the Camden Haven River. This shot actually made it on to our TV news as a weather shot last night, and is virtually straight out of the camera.
Captured using a Manfrotto tripod at 6.28 A.M. and shot using full wide angle of 14mm, at 1/50th f5.0 ISO-100, and resized in PSCS2.
