While I’m enjoying my weekend in New Brunswick, I decided to take some pictures at Saints’ Rest Beach and McLarens Beach, which is only a few miles – er, kilometers – from my hotel. It means getting up at 5:00 a.m. – oh wait, that’s Atlantic time, which means I’m really getting up at 4:00 a.m. – yawn – but if it means getting new pictures for my arsenal and new blog posts for you… well, that’s more important than a few winks of sleep, isn’t it?
So, I tested out a new technique. Long exposure for the pre-sunrise, then a flash exposure for the foreground. A quick combination of the two pictures in startrails.de, some post-processing, and I got this.

Personally, I like this. It’s better than the beach shots I took last year, where there was too much cloud cover for me to actually get the image I wanted.
By comparison… I’ve gotten closer this time.
And I like the idea of “getting closer.”
Besides, what else am I going to do at 4:00 in the morning, besides taking pictures and writing blog posts?
Lovely photo.
Question: If trying to sell a framed photo, how does one prevent someone stealing and recopying the image? I’d like to consider taking and selling photos.

I’m going to put that together as an upcoming blog post. Thanks for the suggestion!
