Sunrise behind Nubble Light

This photo of Nubble Light was taken with a 600mm (telescopic) lens from over 1.5 miles away. Such a large lens makes distant objects look big; see my explanation for a similar moonrise shot at

Such a beautiful time of day! There were some other people out with cameras waiting for the sunrise, as well as people just out walking their dogs or jogging. Almost no traffic, hundreds of open parking spaces, and empty beaches. Quiet, calm, with no indication of the crowds and congestion sure to be happening in just a few hours!


This picture is at f6.3, ISO 200, 1/1250 sec, stopped down by 1.7 steps; 600 mm focal length. Pretty harsh shooting conditions; the sun was already so bright (not much haze to "tone it down").
