02 Jun Night Lighting / wave lineup shot

Posted at 18:25h in Boca Raton Photographer by

Believe it or not, this was my first time ever attempting to shoot lighting.  One night I was driving back home and noticed a bunch of lighting towards the ocean.  I also knew that it was a full moon and that combo could have potential.  I got home gathered my Canon 5d Mark 2 16-35 2.8 II lens, Manfrotto tripod and my Canon intervalometer ( which you can set the camera to fire constantly.  I headed down to my favorite and closest beach in Boca Raton, Spanish River and went to work.  I shot for about an hour, messing with exposures, angles… you name it, I tried it.  Above is one of the better shots I got.  My first lighting shot and it ran as the closing image in Eastern Surfing Magazines School’s Out for Summer article about a week after.  Score!
