Great South Bay Sunrise Reflection

Uploaded: February 13, 2011

Description

It is VERY rare to see the water in the Bay so calm that there could be a reflection. There is no room to walk or stand on the Captree Bridge, so after driving across, I had to pull over on the snow and carefully shimmy along the rail to avoid the cars. Luckily at this time of the morning traffic is light. After a few shots my fingers were freezing (16 degrees) and a break in the traffic allowed me to run on the road back to the Jeep. It was worth it!

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: -1.00, ExposureTime: 1/200 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D
