Montauk, NY

Montauk Light House

On September 20th 2018, I drove out to the Montauk Light House in Montauk, New York for the first time ever. The purpose of this trip was to capture the sunrise over the Atlantic Ocean. In order to make it in time for the sunrise i had to wake up at 4:00 am and leave my house by 4:30 am  to make it in time. Once there i took a few pictures of the fishermen that were fishing in the ocean and a few photos of the lighthouse itself. As it got closer to sunrise i began to climb this hill with another photographer i had met there. I set up my tri-pod and camera with a wide-angle lens. I took a few long exposure shots as well as some normal shots all at an aperture of f/22 in order to pick up all the detail possible. 

Unfortunately, because of doing a homework assignment with my camera the day before, in JPEG format, i forgot to turn my settings on my camera back to the RAW format, so these photos are unfortunately shot in JPEG format.  Oops!

  1. The Montauk lighthouse is one of my favorite places in the world, and these photos captured it's beauty perfectly! Well done. I made the mistake of shooting some stuff in JPEG too, at least now we'll be sure it doesn't happen again :) I look forward to seeing more of your work.
