This is a Portuguese Man o’ War I shot over in Juno during sunrise. These “animals” (not jellyfish) float of top of the water and only move by wind & water currents. They can sometimes swarm together in the thousands. Man o’ War’s have a relatively strong sting and are fed on by Loggerhead turtles. I chose to focus primarily on the Man o’ War. I laid down in the sand to take this picture so that I could get as close to subject as possible. By using my wide angle lens I was able to retain the background which shows the Juno fishing pier as well as the water and sun that was rising up over the horizon. Keeping features like this in the pictures gives you more of a sense as to where the picture was taken. I used a low f/stop so that I the subject would be clear and the background was out of focus. I also knew that by using this lens at this f/stop would retain the background just enough to make out what it was. You can buy this print on my site Caught-Outside Photography.

This photo was shot just before sunrise at the Juno fishing pier in FL. The long exposure blurred the moving water that was washing up the beach as well as picked up some colors in the water that you normally would not see. There are a bunch of leading lines in this image which I like. The pilings sticking up out of the water naturally draws your eye towards the center and adds quite a bit of depth to the image.
