Juno Beach Pier Early Morning Photo Ops

Another attempt to catch a nice sunrise and this time we went to a place that we haven’t been to before, Juno Beach Pier, followed by John D. MacArthur Beach State Park, Had a nice time, met up with Juno Beach Pier, FLsome other photography friends. Near the end of the Juno Beach ops, it started to rain so we remained under the pier until the rain let up. The John D. McArthur Beach State Park was very nice, very minimal with a large, simple pier but built well with lots of distance to walk from the park to the beach area. Long boardwalks and lots of Sea Grapes and Mangroves. Will defiantly go back–eJuno Beach Pier, FLnd of report.

Early Morning Photo ops in Jupiter, FL

img_2224_5_6_interior-3junobeach2016.09.30, Friday; I set the alarm for (0420 Saturday) so we could get on the road by 0530, hopping it wouldn’t be an overcast sunrise for a photo snapping session at the beach in Jupiter, FL. As it turns out, it was overcast. It was however, also very calm with almost no wind at all which is unusual. If anyone shoots photos at Blowing Rocks Preserve or anywhere in that area, they’ll know what I’m talking about. There is almost always a pretty good wind from the East, blowing sea spray right into their lens. The blowing rocks area in Jupiter, FL almost always gives up some nice photos and today I was lucky enough to get a few HDR and a few singles. As always, I shooting with my standard setup; Canon 5D MKII, Canon 17-40L, almost always shooting at the wide end of 17mm, iso 100, F22. Some times I play with the iso to speed up the shots a little if the sun is taking its time to come out. We ran into some other photographers there, and one just so happened get a shot of me standing in the middle of a wave-explosion while I was framing a shot. We exchanged our contact info and I’m just on standby, waiting for him to send me the picture, of which I will post here. Some day I will have a functional gallery somewhere in this domain space. If anyone knows of any other interesting SeaScape areas between Jupiter and Miami, FL, let me know. End of report, will report back when able
